As the air turns crisp and the holiday season approaches, Thanksgiving quietly makes its way to the front of our minds. It’s a holiday unlike any other—no costumes, no fireworks, no gift-wrap. Just a table and the people that we share it with.
The Many Faces of Thanksgiving
For some, Thanksgiving is football—the yearly ritual of early meals, couches, more food, and pretending not to doze off during the 4 pm game. For others, it’s the feast: that first slice of pie, the smell of stuffing in the oven. And then there are those who cherish the stillness—the chance to slow down and enjoy the company.
A Season for Reflection
Maybe Thanksgiving is all of those things at once: the chaos in the kitchen, the desserts that only appear once a year, the familiar faces, and the stories that get retold whether we like it or not.
Intentional Gratitude
As the holiday approaches, take a moment to think about what makes Thanksgiving special to you. Is it a flavor? A moment? A game? A tradition? A person you can’t wait to see—or someone you’ll be missing but remembering with gratitude?
Whatever it is, let that be your intention going into the season. Celebrate it. Share it. And be Thankful.
Happy Thanksgiving!
