Turkey

Happy Turkey Day! Well if that's not one of my pet peeves I don't know what is.  Why is something so simple as wishing someone a happy turkey day a peeve?  Well to start out with it has very little to do with the turkey.  Thanksgiving is about GIVING THANKS.  I know that's a novel thought.  Modern society has tried to make it about anything but giving thanks.  It's the day before black friday, it's the day we start getting out Christmas crap, it's turkey day (the day we over eat without abandon), it's foot ball games, it's going to a movie it's anything but saying "Thank you God for what you have given us and what you have done for our family in the last year".  Don't get me wrong, some people still do that.  And there's nothing wrong with the other things I listed but what is wrong is us moving away from giving thanks and being self absorbed in yet another self pleasing holiday.  This year be thankful. Be thankful to your mom and dad for what they have done for you, be thankful for your family, be thankful for your friends, be thankful for your country, be thankful for you food, be thankful for what you have and most of all be thankful to God for all he has done, is doing and will do in your life.  This is a celebration of thanks, make sure that's how it's honored in your house this year!
