Happy Thanksgiving Day!

My favorite Holiday of the year has finally arrived so I thought it'd be nice to give you a rundown on why it should be your favorite as well!

1) There NO gift giving.

Nope, this holiday is all about good food, good family and great times. No having to worry about what you're getting your in-law because you really don't talk that much when you're together and so you don't have a clue what his taste would be.

2) The focus is around the table, NOT the tree.

Thanksgiving focuses on the meal and a very good one at that! You're surrounded by family enjoying a grand meal, that's it. Not huddled on a couch with 5 other people at the butt crack of dawn opening presents then wondering around for something else to do for the rest of the day.

3) The "after" party.

What do you do after Thanksgiving Day? Get excited for Xmas right? Xmas parties, Xmas shopping and even some of you still wait till after Xmas to pick up a tree. There's tons to look forward to while you're in your chair watching football and eating a turkey sammich.

So what about after Xmas? You're upset because you have to go back to work tomorrow and you wish it was Saturday and the only thing to look forward to is New Years which you won't even think about till next week. Decorations come down and a dreary winter begins. You realize this as tears stream down into your heated leftovers as everyone else has left to go see a movie.

BAM! There ya go! So what do you say we crown Thanksgiving Day as the best dang holiday of them all celebrate it with a big bang! Go relax on the sofa, be thankful for everything you've got, get excited for the upcoming month and sit around the table giving your family the bird!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!
