Say what?!#$%%^^@%$#
So I am at the checkout counter at Harmons...and the check out boy, cash register guy....says looks like you are shopping for Thanksgiving and I said yesseree bob..this Sunday is my thanksgiving day with my family....then he says..oh my family decided were not going to do Thanksgiving anymore or christmas....my eyes pop out...smoke comes out of my ears and then my eyes spin around quickly and I say huh?@3$#@...he said, yea my siblings and I are all grown up so there is no need to do Thanksgiving anymore. I then say, I didn't even know that was an option in life. That is truly unamerican you know. Their family didn't feel it was necessary to do Thanksgiving any more and besides look at all the money you would save. Well you will definately save money by not having Thanksgiving, but that doesn't mean you don't have a special dinner one with prayer filled with all those tender feelings for family and friends and blessings you have received. I don't get it...it was more then my body, mind and spirit could comprehend. How can you not have Thanksgiving....and then no christmas...I grabbed my groceries and ran....tooooo much for me....I hope that my family remember to thank our Father in Heaven for all that they have...please tell me you are thank full for your abundance of family and friends. May all of you know how my cup runneth over for my family and my life would be so less without each one of you. I am truly blessed for all that I have with each one of you. With waterfilled eyes and swallowing hard, my heart pounding I am so grateful for each of you and each one of my grandchildren....if you weren't my own and I met you I would definately have wanted each one of you for my own. I know a lot for some of you...but its how I feel and it feels good to share it. So here's to lots of Thanksgiving's and Christmas's together and apart. I love you....Mom

Um....I don't think you would have picked me out of a line up!
...I wonder what I would have been doing looking at a line up....
didn't I tell you?
I can't imagine not celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas.
And I can't imagine not having shared MANY of those holidays with your family. These times are my cherished memories. I love you all!
Not that it matters to the guy in the store, but isn't that what these holidays are about? Families? Giving Thanks? Perhaps you should head back to the store and invite him to one of our events so he can see what "Thanks" is all about? We have so much to be thanks-ful for, and I guess right now at the top of the list is the fact that we celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas and Love It! Just makes me sad that someone would truly decide to lose the opportunity to gather together...just one more reason to cherish one another every chance we get. Love to one and all.
