So many other things, but these are coming to mind right now... I love Thanksgiving! It's a reason to celebrate without retailers pushing products (I guess ag. farmers and grocers get their time to shine) and without religious affiliation. What a tremendous way to trumpet the beginning of Christmas! I can't wait to start my own family and build my own traditions!

p.b. It is amusing/ ironic that I value the fact that Thanksgiving doesn't have a religious affiliation then plaudit its trumpeting of the beginning of Christmas.
