Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays.
I love the fall for so many reasons. The beautiful color everywhere, the cooler weather, the smell of change in the air and the beginning of the holidays.
I love Thanksgiving food, the stuffing and the cranberries are my favorite. This year I am making a pumpkin cheesecake for the first time. A Paula Deen recipe off the food network. It looked delish.
I love the entire family coming together to eat, to share current stories and remember holidays past. We watch football after the meal, and some of us nap, and some take walks and some play board games. (Remember those?)
Thanksgiving is not commercial like Christmas has become. I like how it reminds us to give thanks for our lives, our histories, our bounty. It reminds us of the people who came before us and forged this country. It reminds us of their sacrifices and their celebrations.
However your family celebrates this wonderful day, I wish you love and good feelings and delicious wonderful food and remember to give thanks to your ancestors that came before you, and for what you have now.
Blessings to you and Happy Thanksgiving...
Cherie and family...
