Cute crossouts there – subliminal messages?

Think how many years the people of the USA have been celebrating Thanksgiving – it’s not about one year, it’s about tradition.

So Enjoy family! And if you grab the veggies out of the garden, all you’ll be paying for is the turkey, some flour, shortening for pie crusts, milk, butter, spices, and cranberries If it’s mostly homemade, the cost is not much!

And look at those brussel sprouts! I hated brussel sprouts until two years ago when a friend made a simple and wonderful batch. Just trim the edges and get rid of brown leaves, then toss with olive oil, chopped garlic and pepper. Roast in a nice hot oven (400 or so?) on a pan until they are almost BLACK, I tell you. Sprinkle with some sea salt and enjoy. If you thought you didn’t like brussel sprouts, you’ll be stunned at how tasty these are.

Thanksgiving is one of the best holidays of the year! Definitely celebrate it! We all have, no matter what is going on, so much to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving!

Jerry: We are definitely fortunate. Many people in this world wouldn’t even know about the financial crisis because they don’t even have access to TVs!

Jodi and Susy: Yes, celebrate thanksgiving for sure!

Aya: No it’s never too soon! I’m sure that people will start to think about how they plan to celebrate Thanksgiving and everything pretty soon. This is especially true for the people that need to travel to see family etc!

I like that you associate Thanksgiving with finances; I agree with your points that we should be appreciating what we have and we should be sharing and such. Plus, I’ve been reading so many blogs about having a frugal thanksgiving and how people can feel good about having a great time with friends and family without spending so much by eating in. I hope you have a good Thanksgiving!! (Is it too soon to be saying that…?)

I’m with Jerry! We really so much better off than the rest of the world! I always feel angry when people start saying that they’ve lost so much but never realized how lucky they are to even have a place to complain.

I’m definitely celebrating Thanksgiving this year! Thanks for the post!

Thank you for this. I currently live in Eastern Europe and I see a lot of people here who have much less than we do. Even in our desperate times (such as now) we’re better off than most of the world. I hope this new administration truly does lead to change and I hope we can live responsibly and gratefully. It’s our insurance for our future.

Thanks for the encouragement! I seriously contemplated about not celebrating this year but now I remember all the good times that we had doing this.

Thank you for the post!
