Thanksgiving is around the Corner!
Ah, my favorite time of the year! The holidays are here! Now, don't get me wrong: I really wish the business sector would back off starting the commerical end of it so soon. It really seems earlier this year with the "Black Friday" deals already starting up to snatch up the consumer's dollar. I understand that a major toy chain announced that they will have 'Black Friday" deals on Thanksgiving Day! That is ridiculous! If the recession taught us one thing, it is what the important things are. We were made to love. Families are too important to waddle away from the Thanksgivng dinner table to snatch up the bargains that companies dangle in front of us. Let's keep up the trend the recession started of "buying experiences." Take the kids out to look at Christmas lights, splurge on the holiday dinners. Check out some of the amusement attractions that are planning holiday themes. Book a flight to see your mom over the holidays, or pack the minivan and make it a road trip! I know my age may have a factor in this, but the things I remember from when I was younger are times when my family was doing something together, whether it was a trip in the stationwagon to Texas to visit grandparents or being a young adult just sitting at Mom & Dad's watching Dad flip the boneless pork chops on the grill and having a cold beer with him. Those are memories I am thankful for this season, and that I hope to build on for my kids so they have their own as well.
