Morning after Halloween and the first thing my mom is asking me to do is take down all the Halloween decorations and put up thanksgiving decorations. this is probably because if we don't do it today we won't ever get around to it. so now as I pass by my kitchen and see the little turkey decorations there is no doubt its thanksgiving time, and as everyone is thinking its okay to start singing Christmas music, I'm thinking about Thanksgiving day. so this is a how to on how to not skip over Thanksgiving day.
step one: try not to buy a single Christmas present before thanksgiving.
step two: cant thing of a good movie to watch for Thanksgiving? try Charlie brown thanksgiving, it's a classic
step three: don't sing a single Christmas song
step four: don't buy and Christmas candy or decorations
step five: get in the Thanksgiving spirit, make hand turkeys or something.
what I'm trying to say is that Thanksgiving in an important holiday. it's when we give thanks, its when pilgrims came and ate with the Indians, is when you have the most delicious meal of the year so you better not forget it. I know Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year and just talking about it now gives me a warm feeling inside. however Thanksgiving is important too and there are some fun things that go with it as in being with family in your homes and sharing Thanksgiving dinner. so as I continue..
step six: make of list of 10 things you are thankful for everyday leading up to Thanksgiving. the first couple of days will be a piece of cake but as you continue it will get harder and harder and you will start to think of the little things like I am thankful that I met this person in 6th grade, or I am thankful for my hearing because we don't think about this stuff every day. I know this post wants much about home improvement and DIY but I thought it was important that there is more to Thanksgiving then its the holiday that is right before Christmas.
