Giving thanks. Thanksgiving…that is it. Celebrating what we are thankful for period…On MSN there is an article under today’s picks. The question asked is the article. Is Thanksgiving Religious? Do not get me into a discussion over this about this or even about taking Christ out of Christmas. I get so fed with the holeyer then thou extremist’s out there changing the face of the world. Can’t we allow Holiday’s to be what they are and allow people to celebrate them the way they choose or have we become so communist of a people that we have to cow tow down to fractions that just need to make waves… You know, I know and everyone knows the meaning of Christmas, the Meaning of Thanksgiving, Labor Day, Memorial day the list goes on and on…Why do we allow for these days to be taken away from us? Oh yeah, as a child which Holiday memories do you remember most? These dates are dates in time families cherish what they have and their friendships with others by inviting them into their lives, homes and memories on these dates…why does it have to be all doom and gloom for some, “Don’t celebrate to hardy this date is because this…” I get so tired of our refraining to speak up when we allow society to change the fabric of our existence. You know what we are doing Thanksgiving? Our Family? We are getting together like my mother and father did and giving thanks, we each say a little prayer at the table and say what we are thankful for and each of us always bring up the fact we wish Jessica my oldest could be here…alas she can’t as she has a home in Florida and the same thing happens during Christmas, Easter.. you name it these are family holidays set in place by remembrance of their origin. The origin that was taught to us through out fathers and their father, fathers and so on and so forth… Yeah, today has changed…those holiday’s are under attack by people we call neighbors, friends and fellow walkers of this earth… Let the Holidays happen…yeah they get way over- blown by décor, by materialism and yeah some forget… but do not allow us to become a race of lemmings… I am thankful for friends, if you are reading this then you are considered a friend of mine… plain and simply… I am thankful for you… Yes today I got up on the soap-box a little, because I believe in things they way they were and believe the more change the more hate and discontent it spreads… lets just all give thanks… Have a great day.
Many hugs…and they can’t be given with out some very fine pats.
