This year, maybe it's because...oh, I give in, because the Packers beat the heck out of Detroit!<BR/>I'll take my thankfulness wherever I can get it, thank you.Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647906900944224234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821799658844915805.post-55608204739269996632007-11-27T05:49:00.000+00:002007-11-27T05:49:00.000+00:00I did have a period in my teenage years when I was...I did have a period in my teenage years when I was really fed up (sorry about the pun) with Thanksgiving. This was when I was on the road to becoming a vegetarian---all the excess of the holiday bothered me. But then one has a child, and for Charlie, it's been so important to mark the days with holidays and familiar rituals and traditions; this year was a lot of fun, as we cooked at home (so I got to see <A HREF="http://web.mac.com/kjchew/iWeb/kc/Thanksgiving2007.html" REL="nofollow">Charlie sitting before the turkey</A> as if to say, all mine!). Afraid I didn't get it together enough to make a casein-free pumpkin pie though.kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01104388229716638534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821799658844915805.post-15556432239803016632007-11-26T19:00:00.000+00:002007-11-26T19:00:00.000+00:00Love your blog too, hon. ;-D Lemme explain somethi...Love your blog too, hon. ;-D <BR/><BR/>Lemme explain something that may have gotten lost in translation in my blog post...<BR/><BR/>I don't <I>hate</I> Thanksgiving. I like Pumpkin Pie. A lot. Okay, probably too much...but my past experiences with Thanksgiving come from a different country altogether. Thanksgiving in the US is punished for being so close to Christmas and is considered to be the official start of the Christmas season. In Canada, we celebrate it the first Monday (not Thursday) in October so we have a lot of time to recover before being hit over the head with Christmas by the retailers. And there are no Day After Thanksgiving sales and lineups at 4 am in the morning because we just don't have that.<BR/><BR/>And I certainly don't object to anyone being thankful. But we shouldn't limit ourselves to being thankful on just one day of the year. As Ange said above, we should be thankful every day of the year.<BR/><BR/>Kimwskrzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07043651548202021549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821799658844915805.post-31895170037509969652007-11-26T17:01:00.000+00:002007-11-26T17:01:00.000+00:00I'm with you! I love Thanksgiving. Love love LOVE ...I'm with you! I love Thanksgiving. Love love LOVE it. I love the warmth of the foods, family just spending time together. No pressure about having to spend tons of money to participate. No kids expecting presents. Well Bubba asked if there were any Thanksgiving presents, but was OK when we told him no.<BR/><BR/>And I make a simple Thanksgiving meal in the cool spring as well because I decided, why can't I eat my favorite foods together on a different day?<BR/><BR/>Have a wonderful holiday season, and be thankful every day of the year! ;)Angehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00391321273245313098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821799658844915805.post-8535192736831535662007-11-26T16:33:00.000+00:002007-11-26T16:33:00.000+00:00After 12 years here I actually prefer Thanksgiving...After 12 years here I actually prefer Thanksgiving to Christmas!<BR/><BR/>As for the Christmas nightmare, I read an 'American Classic'[?] a few years ago called something like 'pulling the plug on Christmas.'<BR/><BR/>It's basic message was to examine what elements are important to you about that holiday and then drop everything else.<BR/><BR/>One thing I particularly liked about it is that it acknowledged that it's the mum's and their family traditions that are usually most prominent and Dad's get pushed out of the loop. If both parents include the things that are important to them, then a whole new tradition is started that is more meaningful for both.<BR/><BR/>It was about that time that I also told the children that Father Christmas only brought 3 presents and a stocking for each of them. They believed me! Since we have two birthdays in December by New year we look like a toy store so thing little step made a big difference.<BR/><BR/>So Happy thanksgiving <BR/>Best wishesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
