For those in the United States, Happy Thanksgiving.
For my friends living elsewhere and my friends in this country, each day can be a day full of thanks when we pay attention to all the gifts from God.
Everything is a gift.
Friday is traditionally called “Black Friday” and consumerism conquers character in the mad rush to buy, buy and buy.
I saw this article at the Huffington Post and think it is a great idea for all of us this time of year:
Jon Sweeney writes:
“Thanksgiveaway (proper noun):
The day after Thanksgiving in the United States that describes people’s attempt to shun what had become a tradition of shopping furiously for bargains, once known as “Black Friday,” with a day devoted to cleaning out extra clothing, unneeded books, rarely used cooking utensils and appliances, and other non-essential or duplicate household items, and giving them away to others who may need them.”
Let’s spread the word about this great idea.
I’m so pleased!
I thought the idea was wonderful, too, Nancy. Hope you have had a great Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to you too Kathy. Glad you found the review. Great book. And by the way, I passed the book I won from you onto my daughter. She was excited to get it.
What a clever idea — Thanksgiveaway! Thank you, Jean!
