Well, Halloween's over, and it's time to gear up for Thanksgiving. One of my favorite holidays (if not THE favorite), Thanksgiving provides the family-oriented time that I love.
Not only is the Thanksgiving meal one of my favorites, but the Thanksgiving story of our country's beginnings is worth passing on to future generations.
Christmas, the celebration of Christ's birth, is one of deep significance to those of us who are Christians, but it has been commercialized so much in recent years. The season has become hectic, nonstop, and . . . for lack of a better word, crazy. Thanksgiving is still relatively sedate in comparison. We gather to share a meal and thank the Lord for His many blessings. We eat a delicious meal, often overindulging, I'll admit. And for those sports fans, it is a day of watching football on TV.
I'm not a football fan, but with the grandchildren, we always think of something fun to do. We are together, and that means so much.
Happy Thanksgiving, even if a bit early. Society's trying to push the Christmas season back farther, riding roughshod over Thanksgiving. Not in this household! We love both holidays, and we want them to keep their distinctive messages. Enjoy yours.
