How do I love Thanksgiving? Let me count the ways. I love the food—particularly the stuffing and gravy, as you know, but also the turkey and roasted veggies and squash and pumpkin bread and and and and.... I love being surrounded by family. I love that no one expects a gift. I love that there are no religious rules or rituals. I love hosting a big party at my house! And this:
I am thankful that I have enough to eat and enough to share.
I am thankful that my family comes from near and far to be together.
I am thankful that I live in peace and comfort, and surrounded by love.
And to you, all of my family members and friends and cyber-pals and readers and lurkers, I wish many reasons of your own to be thankful. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
I agree with all those reasons!! The gift giving and rituals can be onerous at times.
