The Holiday Season is officially upon us. Thanksgiving marked the beginning with a huge
meal. Whether it’s just time with your immediate family or time with your
extended family, these are especially the times to be cherished. Usually we
hurry around our family’s different houses, constantly watching the clock so we
aren’t late to the next get-together.
Honestly, I feel like when we do that nobody really gets to enjoy the
holiday, and like I didn’t really get to spend time with those that are most
important. That’s what the holidays are
about right?
Thanksgiving is also the start to all the crazy holiday
shopping! Black Friday, Cyber Monday, it’s a countdown to get Christmas gifts
at all the right prices! Also after Thanksgiving neighbors start putting up
their Christmas trees, and decorating their homes for Christmas. Sometimes I
feel like I just can’t keep up with it all. My husband and I are still in
school, so we had projects, papers, presentations, and exams to complete as
well as making a special Thanksgiving for our family.
We took Thanksgiving Day to just relax, enjoy our family, and
just be at home. We had some family and a few friends come over. It was a nice relaxing day, spending some
quality time together. We also watched the Cowboy’s football game, their
victory was just the perfect ending to such a nice relaxing day.
We also like to take a moment to give thanks for everything
we have been fortunate enough to have. Especially veteran organizations like, The
Coalition To Salute America’s Heroes. They give so much to so many veterans, we
feel like it’s import to show her the importance of helping and giving to those
less fortunate than she is. This year we gave her a shoes box to fill with
small toys and gifts to send to a little girl. She’s only 3 but it’s never too
early to teach her how to be thankful, and not take her things for granted. We
felt like starting her young would help her understand has she grows into a
young lady and an adult that it is far better to give than receive.
