The Forgotten Holiday

I just posted a reply to the blog of a friend of mine, and thought it would go well here, too. I was talking about Thanksgiving, and how people gloss over it as just a bigger-than-normal meal before we get to Christmas. The whole essence of the day seems to be lost by now. Everyone gets caught up in the fact that they get school or work of, and sometimes, not even then! I iss kindergarten. We dressed up as Pilgrims and Indians. The Pilgrim guys had the option of choosing which moustache you could get. Most guys went with straight ones, but I went for the handlebar! Ya gotta love the classic style...anyway...
My point is, Thanksgiving is becoming a thankless holiday. No one even says is anymore until they get to the dinner table. Why not remember it the whole day? Relax! When you relax, you see so much more you can say thanks for! We don't say it nearly often enough.
