It’s Thanksgiving. That special time of the year where we Americans celebrate the fact that even though the pilgrims had just massacred most of the natives and stole their land, our ancestors didn’t die from famine because the Native Americans were humane enough to feed them.
It’s really a feel-good time for all.
I’m thankful for a lot, though, really. Friends, family, good health, opportunities. The wonderful things that await me.
But mostly I’m thankful my mom bought a case of Christmas Ale for tomorrow.
So, now it’s time to prepare for the holiday season ahead of us -- the barrage of traffic, long lines, screaming children and greed galore. But I choose, and I hope you will too, to ignore all that and instead face the holidays with love and humor in our hearts. Remember those less fortunate and remember giving is always better than receiving. Tell your friends and family how much they mean to you. Stop and relax and remember the true meaning of the holiday season: love, peace, and goodwill towards all.
In the spirit of humor through the holidays, I leave you all with the best part of one of my favorite Thanksgiving TV episodes of all time.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
