Well, its Thanksgiving here in the States. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I am blessed to have enough to eat and lots of family around to spend the day with. And while I have more than my share of my blessings to tell you about, I am only going to say I am thankful for the holiday itself. A whole day dedicated to reflecting on the good things you have. And luckily, the holiday is largly un-corrupted by commercialism and annoying cartoons. Ya got that Charlie Brown one, but that's a good one.

The only bad thing about Thanksgiving is it signals the unleashing of the Christmas juggernaut. Granted there is the glorious aspect of the birth of my Lord which I celebrate, but there is so much the rest of the world is throwing at everyone, it makes it tough for me to get fully excited. But that is a blog for another time.

I guess if I have a point for all this, it is that I'd hope if you celebrate thanksgiving, you'd remember the real point of it. It is much more than a levee that holds back the enivitable flood of Christmas jingles and commercials.
