Thanksgiving is one of my favorite times of the year. As a matter of fact, I always hate it when people rush Christmas and start decorating before the Thanksgiving Holliday and the radio stations who try to outdo each other by starting earlier each year with Christmas music. Now if you have small kids I understand starting early.
The nice thing about Thanksgiving is that there are no presents involved. Before you think I am just a scrooge; I love getting and giving presents to friends and family. Most of us really need a time to pause and be “thankful”. We rush through life never really slowing down and thinking about all the blessings we have in our lives. I enjoy spending time with family and just “hanging out” with no agenda or pressure. It is like my last breath before the business of the Christmas season.
For the next couple of days just try to relax, enjoy the break, and thank one person each day for what they mean to you.
