thanksgiving for me has always been one of my favorites, family, great food and a time for just being thankful for all of the wonderful things in your life.
let's bring thanksgiving back!
I SO AGREE!!!
By the time Christmas DOES arrive, I'm already tired of it!! I never decorate until the first week of Dec. and we're the last one on the block!
What's REALLY sad - we know quite a few people who have forgone all their Thanksgiving plans and dinners - to shop online or go camp out for the Black Friday hysteria! What message does THAT send to our children & grandchildren?? Crazed consumerism above ALL else - instead of a holiday spent at home with family & friends, let's all just sit at our computers or eat fast food & spend the night in parking lots!! CRAZY The end of civilization draws ever more near ... :(
