Thanks for Thanksgiving
November 23, 2011 - by
It’s my favorite holiday. No presents, no carols, no decorating (until you start on Christmas), just food and family. Also, for me this year, some golf and the State basketball and football games.
It’s the quintessential American celebration.
Plus, it’s always on Thursday. So you get a guaranteed four-day weekend, or maybe five, or maybe just blow off Monday and Tuesday too and make it a whole week!
Which probably means that at some point you’ve got time to think about what you’re thankful for.
Among many other things, I’m thankful for the chance to do this blog, thankful for our readers, thankful for the TAPsters who bail me out when the well is dry, thankful for those of you who send my your thoughts and opinions and – even when you don’t agree with me – nearly always teach me something new.
Most of all, Gwyn and I are thankful that our son and daughter will be with us. As they get older and go out on their own, your dread the holidays to come when they’ll have their own traditions and holiday plans – that don’t include you.
This year, once again, our house will be a place of food, love and laughter. Many thanks for that.
