Thanksgiving

By the time this gets posted the Thanksgiving Holiday will have passed.  Once we have all recovered from all the Turkey, alcohol and football its time to go shopping.  Now let me say up front while I'm not the biggest fan of turkey, ( my wife always makes Lasagna too) I will have my fair share of it.  I will wash it down with a few beers and we definitely will have the games.  I'm sure my wife and daughter as well as countless others will head out shopping on Black Friday.  But is that rally what the holiday season means to us all.
The commercial aspect of this season is not lost on me, I understand that the profits (or losses) made this time of year are very important to business.  But lets take a step back, lets enjoy being with our friends and loved ones.  Buying gifts at a great price is not the end goal.  Giving something to the recipients that they will like and use, the look on their faces when they receive the gift.  That's the ultimate reward, not the great price we got it for!
So enjoy the people you are with.  Enjoy the food too, but don't over eat and drink in moderation.  (Jeez I sound like my mother)

I want to wish everyone a great holiday season!
