Topic: Let's not forget about Thanksgiving...Please!
I just thought that I would post a public service announcement for the people in the US who have apparently forgotton about Thanksgiving (or at least the meaning of it...it's more than a couple days off to watch terrible football...sorry Lions fans). There have been houses in my town that have had their Christmas lights hung and lit for the last week already! I just wanted to remind everyone that we do have a lot to be thankful for, especially here in the US, and we should take a little time between our two most materialistic holidays (Halloween and Christmas) to reflect on how lucky we actually are. It's fine if you want to hang the lights before it gets too cold, but please leave them off before Thanksgiving! I love Christmas, I just don't think we should forget to give thanks for all of the things that make Christmas special. And finally, maybe if we stop to think about all we have to be thankful for, we may be willing to share some of our good fortune with those less fortunate to make their Christmas more special as well.
So, Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Drive safe and enjoy the time with your families!
