Happy Thanksgiving!!

November 28, 2013 By Jean Wise

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:

Thanksgiveaway:

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.

    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.
