Jack stretched out on his recliner and reached for a slice of pizza. "I like pizza," he reasoned, basking in the glorious taste of cheese, crust, and sauce. "It's simple. It's easy. You pick up the phone, call in your order, and someone brings it to your house. Why doesn't someone invent a delivery service for Thanksgiving?" he wondered.

"They did," Sam informed him. "People deliver the dinner to your door and you unpack it."

"We're doing that next year," Hammond decided with conviction. His clothes still reeked of smoke. After Jack and Daniel had thrown the turkey out the back door, it had caught the lawn on fire. Nobody had noticed – everybody having gone to greet Hammond – until the neighbor called the fire department and the truck arrived outside. After they had helped put the fire out, Hammond and Jack buried the turkey while Sam ordered the pizza.

Robin stared down sadly at her second set of ruined clothes that day. "I think you owe me a sweater, Jack," she suggested hopefully.

Aisha was sprawled near the fireplace. "By the way, Jack," she began cautiously. "When Sam and I put the table away, we found corn kernels set on each plate. What were you doing with dried corn?"

Jack sighed, his face turning red, but the team turned to him with interest. "Oh, alright," he finally grumbled. "I read about a tradition this family had. They took five kernels of corn –"

"Are these kernels symbolic of the meager rations of the first pilgrims?" Teal'c wondered.

Jack looked surprised. "Actually, yes. And everybody took turns dropping their corn into a basket and naming five things they were grateful for."

Janet smiled. "That's a great idea. I think we can still make that work, even with pizza."

Aisha and Robin scrambled to retrieve the basket and corn, and Aisha passed out the kernels while Robin plunked the basket down on the coffee table. Everyone gathered near.

"You first, Sir," Sam prompted. Jack lifted up one kernel of corn. "I'm thankful for pizza," he stated heartily, letting it fall into the basket with a plunk.

"Amen," Hammond called out.

"Your turn, General," Jack added, passing him the basket.

"I'm grateful for the volunteer fire department," Hammond rebounded fervently. The girls laughed.

"I'm grateful for my new daughter," Janet said, looking lovingly at Cassy. Cassy grinned and dropped her kernel in. "My new mom!" she exclaimed.

Sam thought for a moment. "The day off," she decided, passing it on to Daniel, who dropped in his without hesitation. "The written word."

Jack laughed. Teal'c took the basket thoughtfully. "Freedom," he finally decided.

Aisha took it. "The stargate," she exclaimed. Robin scowled. "You took mine. Um, the mountain," she decided.

"My turn again? Okay, turkey," Jack decided. "The normal kind."

"Grandchildren," Hammond shared.

"Friends," Janet put in.

"Family!" Cassy decided, looking around them lovingly.

Sam smiled. "Stargazing."

"The troops who are fighting overseas," Daniel put in with feeling. Nods all around.

"Safety," Teal'c added.

"Diet coke," Aisha decided.

"Hey, I can add to that!" Sam decided, leaning over to drop her kernel in out of turn. "Coffee!"

"I was going to say that!" Daniel protested. Sam grinned. "Tough."

"Cars," Robin decided. "Especially Jeeps."

"Point taken." Jack rolled his eyes. "Cell phones."

Hammond laughed. "'Off' buttons," he decided.

"Modern medicine," Janet put in.

"Max." Cassy snuggled him closer.

Sam had to think. "Alarm clocks," she decided finally.

"That spare room in the mountain where I crash after an all-nighter," Daniel decided.

"The human race," Teal'c decided."

"Wow, that sounds important," Aisha observed. "Okay. I'm glad for our rooms," she began, dropping in one kernel. "The one at Jack's house, the one at Sam's house," she continued, dropping in one kernel for each. "I'm out."

"Hey, I get the other two," Robin objected, dropping her two in, as well. "The one at Daniel's house, the one at the mountain."

"Is that fair?" Jack wondered as the basket came to him again. "Hmm. The Air Force."

"Democracy," Hammond said.

"Oh, my. Well, I am grateful for make-up," Janet finally said. "And lipstick. There! I'm out, too."

"Swings!" Cassy put in.

"Glasses," Daniel reflected.

"I am most thankful for your chocolate. And for marshmallows," Teal'c reflected. The girls burst out laughing.

"Your turn, Robin," Jack reminded her. Robin tossed her kernel in the basket. "Discmans!" she exclaimed triumphantly.

"Hah!" Jack added his last kernel to the basket. "Headphones! I'm out."

"Volume control, too," Sam interjected. "So am I."

"Tylenol," Hammond observed wryly.

"I'm glad I'm alive," Cassy said.

"Am I the last one left? Wow," Daniel thought out loud. He held the kernel thoughtfully, then let it slide slowly between his fingers. "I am eternally grateful to fate," he declared simply. "The fate that brought us all together."

Heads around the room nodded.

"You know what else I'm thankful for?" Jack added, yawning and stretching out. "The fact that tomorrow is black Friday - I can buy grass seed at half price…"
