Although we all enjoy a long weekend, Thanksgiving should get recognition as one of the best throughout the year. The biggest advantage is the opportunity to celebrate with friends or family without any pressure of gift-buying such as we fact in December or Valentines Day. Also we can confidently wish our co-workers a happy Thanksgiving' as there has never been any controversy over what to call the holiday.
The timing is perfect because it happens in the shoulder season of the year falling between summer and the frosty days of autumn. Many folks with cottages designate this as the final overnight visit to the cottage and organize friendly work parties to close the cottage and eat great food in a rustic setting. For the rest of us, the timing is great for sports fans with baseball wrapping up while hockey and football are just beginning. If you stay in the city you can prepare fabulous local food from the bounty available from farm markets.
The ways to celebrate can be elaborate or simple. All you really need is to take a few moments to reflect on the people and abundance in your life and act generously to help others feel the same warmth. Happy holiday!
