Thanksgiving is becoming a holiday that may be better called Reconnect day. It is a time to reconnect with family and friends . During the year we become involved in day to day. We often miss seeing family and friends. We have less dinners at the table. So Thanksgiving to me is a day , after the cooking is done and we all sit down together, to take a deep breath look around the table, smile and reconnect.
So I guess while ity is a day to reconnect it is also a time to give thanks for being part of the day. Have a happy holiday all


Charlie, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because it is void of the excessive commercialism which keeps it pure. I agree that it's a special day that we take to enjoy family and friends which does not happen much in our daily lives.
Charlie.....happy thanksgiving to you and your family also.....it is a special day, but Christmas is my favorite.
I love Thanksgiving. It's my favorite day. It's a pause to take stock and give Thanks. (and yes, reconnect).
Charlie ---- I like this "reconnect day" --- who would have thought about that, but you. Thanks.

Holidays are great for "forced" family time. We can struggle to take time away many other times.
