Thanksgiving "Simply" the Best

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.  It's foundation, of family, friends, tradition, and food remains for the most part untouched by the stress and rush of other holidays.  Unlike Halloween where decorations are up in in stores by August, or Christmas where decorations are for sale by October, Thanksgiving does not have that forced rush about it.  In fact, in many cases it can be overlooked by those who are in a hurry to get their Christmas tree up as fast as they can in November.  Oh, yes commercialism creeps in as "Black Friday" becomes Thanksgiving afternoon, but to me this holiday remains about gratitude, family and friends, those still with us and the love and the memories of those who have passed on.  Happy Thanksgiving!timothymahar.org
