Happy Abracadabra Day?


You're probably asking me why I put "abracadabra". No it has nothing to do with that hilarious episode of "Bugs Bunny" when he's trapped in the haunted castle being stalked by a bat changing vampire. I was actually sitting here wondering what I could search for in terms of a new word for my blog and would you believe me when I say I thought of thanksgiving and decided to look it up?? Well I did and these were the other words that popped up on the screen.

"Thanksgiving"
Definition: grace

Synonyms: benediction, blessing, invocation, petition, thanks

I suppose the connection between the two words comes from the fact that "thanksgiving" and "invocation" mean prayer but that "invocation" also means magic, or to summon something.

It's weird how words are all connected. Though, I do not think that abracadabra day will catch on.
