Thanksgiving Day OR......

What are you doing today to give thanks for all of your blessings? Are you choking down your turkey so that you can hit the streets and shop until you drop for the next big holiday? Is that any way for us to celebrate a "day of thanksgiving?"

I can't imagine that our forefathers really intended shopping on that day when Thanks was first given. I don't know about the validity of that story of Squanto and the Pilgrims but certainly those early settlers gave thanks at some point. What are we allowing to happen by participating? Or are we participating?

I vote for family time, giving thanks, relaxing and just enjoying the day with those we love the mostest!! Oh yes, I forgot the turkey!
