Thanksgiving

Today, we give thanks, traditionally for a good harvest season. But now we live in the 21st century, and almost all of us do not work the land nowadays. Thanksgiving, however is still very dear and important to us, because today is the day where friends and family unite to have one nice dinner, usually with a big turkey and all the wonderful sides that have become a common sight on dinner tables.

Today is not only a day to relax and have a good meal, today is the day where we go and have a good time with our friends, family and other people sitting at the grand 'ole kitchen table.

Thanksgiving by itself is a very special day, but tomorrow is the craziest shopping day of the year. One day called Black Friday, people get up at one o' clock do chase the latest bargains at all the big box stores we have gotten so accustomed to over the years. Bargain-hunting in America is almost like a sport, it is one of Americans favorite pasttimes: In search of the next great bargain.

It is the time to give thanks for what we have, it is time to cherish the moments we have with the people so dear to us. There are only two things certain in life; Death and Taxes. Life is too short not to enjoy it. I hope when you are carving a big turkey, or having fun with friends and family, you truly give thanks to what you have in your life.
