Blessings

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. 
I have sweet memories from childhood of helping my mom set the table with the nice china and watching her put together the massive amounts of food that 10-20, sometimes 25 people would consume.  After dinner, everyone would say what they are thankful for.  All the typical things were said, but it always gave me the warm fuzzies to hear it said out loud.
It's the one holiday that has stayed most true to itself.  It hasn't been taken over by Santa and gifts, or bunnies and chocolate.  It's a day to zero in on what you do have, not what you don't. 
Count your blessings.  Cook and eat.  Sleep and watch football.
What's not to love.
Happy Thanksgiving!
