one week from Thursday is Thanksgiving. I was listening to a radio station the other day and they were referring to Thanksgiving as the "forgotten holiday." They said people take down their Halloween decorations and hang up the Christmas ones. Thinking back over the past week I was thinking about the errands I was running. Most of the stores had their Halloween decorations on sale and right next to it was a few Thanksgiving things with the Christmas decorations taking over most of the store. The Thanksgiving stuff really was pushed to the side and if you weren't looking for it you could easily miss it. Walking around downtown, Christmas decorations are going up. This weekend is the Festival of Lights parade, basically a start of Christmas celebration. Christmas music has started taking over the airwaves. Now I did learn over the weekend that Thanksgiving was not the peaceful happy-go-lucky dinner between the Pilgrims and Indians that we were taught in school. We've come along way from 1621 to be truly thankful for what we have. Don't let Thanksgiving become the "forgotten holiday". We have a lot to be thankful for these days.
I'm thankful for my family and their health, my friends, my job, the time i can spend with other people, and my church.
What are you thankful for?
