Thankful for Thanksgiving
2013-11-27 - by
It’s the best holiday of all. It’s food, family, friends and football. It’s an all-too-brief pause before the mindless consumerism, stressed-out shopping and forced cheer of Christmas.
Only Americans could come up with Thanksgiving. Like July 4th, it’s all ours and All-American. July 4th is food, family, friends and the beach. But it’s for hot weather. Thanksgiving lingers between the waning days of fall and the coming cold of winter.
July 4th celebrates us declaring our independence. Thanksgiving celebrates some of us crossing the ocean to get here and surviving by the skin of our teeth, with the help of people who were already here and whom we then ran off, killed off and took the country away from.
You gotta love us. Most of all, you gotta love Thanksgiving. Eat up, enjoy and brace yourself. Christmas is coming.
