Trick or Treat is over. The costumes, cobwebs and candy aisles in supermarkets are now on clearance. This Sunday we turned our clocks back. It seems to me that the minute Labor Day has come and gone--the focus on the holidays is all around us. Once jack-o-lanterns have spoiled and are thrown out, this usually (unfortunately) means out with Autumn, too! The end of Halloween seems to signal the fierce onslaught of Christmas carol jingles, glitz of Christmas decor not to forget the timeless Santa, Rudolph and Frosty images hitting the airwaves of radio, and TV, and in every aspect of the retail world around us.
And alias--the Christmas Commercialism begins to barrage us.
I was born the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, so naturally, I always looked forward to Thanksgiving. However, I have been guilty of the familiar hustle and bustle of the Yuletide that seems to push right past the month of November, going from October straight into December...this year, I really want to try to savor Thanksgiving. I, for one have so much to be thankful!
Having a place to go is Home.
Having someone to love is Family.
Having both is a Blessing!
I Lasso the opportunity to stop and enjoy November!
Happy Autumn!
Happy Thanksgiving!
