Thanksgiving

I would like to wish you all a "Happy Thanksgiving". I won't be able to be on tomorrow. I will be cooking all day.
Our temple has a family Thanksgiving for all those who have no family or no money for food. This year our local jail is allowing us to use their kitchen, which will make things easier.
Each year we do a Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. We do not celebrate Christmas but we realize most of our neighbors do. We have quite a few seniors who have no family in the area. We have been doing this for so long, one of our seniors told me it is family coming together. I am glad she feels that way. The children in my family really enjoy meeting people from all over the world. When we finally get to sit down to dinner, it resembles a meeting of the United Nations.
I am thankful for the people who come to our celebrations. I have made many wonderful friends over the years. I am thankful we are able to provide these dinners. I believe I get much more than I give.

Good for you She Wolf.
Thanks Giving may be our only true Christian Holiday. Giving thanks, instead of merchandising.
It is being crowded out by the merchandisers. X-mas decos out the day after Halloween.
