Like many people, I'm thinking about Christmas a little more than Thanksgiving. Hallmark Christmas movies are already playing, Sirius XM radio will be airing their Christmas music stations next week, Christmas displays are in full force at the stores, Christmas ads are filling my email, quite a few friends are well into their Christmas shopping and decorating. Christmas is everywhere and it's pushing Thanksgiving off to the side.
Take a breath and think about what Thanksgiving is about. It's a time to show gratitude. The word Thanksgiving means "giving of thanks."It's an action word and gratitude requires action. When you feel grateful, don't forget to say it to people. Showing gratitude makes it about others and not about ourselves.
Be grateful for the spirit of Christmas but don't forget to count your blessings.
I am starting to think about Christmas. I dosed my fruitcakes with booze last night, and sampled, the aging is coming along well.
