It seems that every year, the holiday season arrives faster and faster. This year, with Thanksgiving being so late, you may find yourself rushing more than usual to squeeze in gift-buying, getting together with friends, and various holiday celebrations, before 2020 is upon us. But before all that, there’s Thanksgiving, here to remind us to take a breath and enjoy who and what we have in our lives.

It’s one of those unofficial and unspoken rules of the Thanksgiving meal that’s about as traditional as having a turkey and pumpkin pie: don’t bring up politics, religion, or money during the meal!

There are a lot of great traditions families have when it comes to Thanksgiving. Sometimes it’s food related, such as a secret family recipe for candied yams, deep frying a turkey, or just knowing exactly what dishes to expect at the table. Perhaps your family always participates in a local Turkey Trot race, or watches the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, or takes turkey coma naps after the big meal.

Thanksgiving is the time of year to surround yourself with the people you love and care about and do what the name suggests – give thanks for everyone and everything you have.
