Anyone ever notice how all of our holidays somehow have become hyper-commercialized? As easter, 4th of July, Halloween, approach, it can be seen all over the internet, tv, and superstores everywhere, yet the thanksgiving holiday seems to have not become overly commercialized...I find that interesting and I believe it is due to the fact that it's a holiday about giving thanks, the mad rush to the stores for gift buying doesn't occur until the day following thanksgiving. The only thing somewhat commercial about this holiday is the food and the football. But most families have already found their own traditions and no amount of commercial advertisement is going to change that. The typical family will have activities or movie watching in the morning as the food is prepared and then will pig out in the late morning/early afternoon which is followed by overdosing on dessert and watching the famous turkey bowl which is always between the same 2 teams every single year. Aside from that, each family has formed it's own traditions sometimes it's a time to play cards or board games. Sometimes people just chit-chat and joke around with their loved ones that they only get to see at this time of year, and sometimes it's a chance to nap and relax just to prepare for the coming stress and chaos of the "commercial holiday nightmare".
Well this thanksgiving I thought the best thing I could do to show my appreciation to God was to start blogging my daily fun-filled adventures. I have neglected this project for quite sometime and need to start now. I have no time to waste, just memories that will fade and dissapear and never be passed on to family and posterity. So this is me saying thanks for all that I've been given and all I will come to receive..each and every day and the opportunity to live it to the fullest and then blog about it right here. :) God Bless! and Happy Thanksgiving!
