My husband read an interview with a British actor many years ago. The actor had been temporarily living here in the U.S. while filming a movie. The interviewer asked him what he thought of American holidays, and the actor replied that he really enjoyed Thanksgiving. He said it had many of the best qualities of Christmas -- time spent with family and good food, but without the pressure of gift giving. We had never thought of it that way before, but we realized he had made an excellent observation. Thanksgiving is special, and we love it.
We have much to be thankful for here at Forest Manor. We have each other, our son, our extended family, and Duncan. ;) We also have a home, plenty of food to eat, medicine, clothing, and money left over to enjoy our hobbies. We are thankful, also, to live in a free country.
