Happy Thanksgiving!! I love the holiday season because it reminds us to give thanks to all of our amazing blessings. This year, I was so blessed to meet you and Scott. I was so nervous that he wanted me to meet you so early, but your warm welcome instantly put me at ease. Thank you for being so kind to me this year! I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. <3 Kim
Ladies and gentlemen, it is apparently my job to do all the thankyous. The first and biggest thankyou is to all of you. Thank you all for choosing to share today with us. We are delighted and touched to see so many of you here. And thank you, of course, for all the wonderful gifts.
I just wanted to let you know how much you have effected my love of language. So thank you very much. Have an amazing Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving Day is a day of family, food, and giving thanks for the blessings in life and yet some people believe Thanksgiving to be a prep day for Black Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year. The focus of Thanksgiving shifted from family bonding to incessant shopping. This trend of taking away from the hours of Thanksgiving in order to shop is enraging. It steals away from family time for the shoppers and the employees. Employers threaten workers that if they do not work on that certain holiday, they will be fired. Black Friday should be kept to Friday instead of moving in on my family time. The whole culture of Black Friday has become repugnant and unnecessary.
It was nice to meet a cousin I hadn’t met before. Mark and his wife Michelle drove up from Michigan to be here with us today. Thank you.
Textbooks in today’s schools still tell the same story that has been handed down from generation to generation. Every year children dress up and put on plays about the famous story of the first Thanksgiving. No one knows the truth though or at least people pretend to not know the embarrassing truth of our “founding fathers.” Textbooks today give the candy coated version of good saintly Englishmen come to a better world and find good neighbors willing to help in their time of need.
During fall, the leaves fall, the temperature drops, and people sit around a table and say what they are thankful for. While we are consuming pounds of turkey and stuffing, the Pilgrims are to thank for the annual feast. Because the meaning of this holiday is to not stuff your face with endless amount of carbs, we should be reminded of how grateful we are for what we own. Thanksgiving was a very memorable time in U.S. history.
Thanksgiving Holiday as I know it is all about family and sharing a large meal together. The idea of all contributing in making one big meal for everyone seems to bring the family together, in a way that may not happen too often during the rest of the year. Because of this, I feel as if thanksgiving is one of the holidays that us, Americans can cherish for more than just the meaning of the actual holiday, but for strengthening the relationships within your family as well.
Clearly Saint Patrick’s Day is associated with Shamrocks and Leprechauns because they are both important to the Irish people. And they are both also important to making the holiday become what it is today.
Good afternoon, let me just start by saying that the kindness, support, friendship, and love extended to me and my family during this difficult time has really touched my heart- we are sincerely appreciative!
I recently implemented a "Casual Friday" option, meaning you are allowed to wear clothes that are more comfortable at work yet always look neat and professional. Casual wear incorporates many looks, but it means casual clothing that is appropriate for a professional office environment. Unfortunately, in the past two weeks, I noticed that several violations of the guidelines for dressing down have misinterpreted. So once again, we are providing you what is acceptable for casual wear, as well as a list of some of the more common items that are inappropriate. This list is just an overview of what is acceptable for casual Friday.
It is beautiful to see so many loving family members and friends here to share in this occasion, especially those who have traveled some distances to
However, before I begin, on behalf of John and Angie I would like to thank everyone who has helped to make this the special day that it is - and I think we can all agree it has been splendid so far.
During an interesting Thanksgiving in Spain, a man is perplexed by the question, “Should you celebrate this holiday even if you don’t feel grateful?” The man struggles with this question because at the time it is asked he believes that one should feel grateful in order to give thanks. However, he later learns and discusses that “acting grateful can actually make you grateful.” Gratitude does not come easy to many people because things in life do not come easy either. People often feel what their circumstances reflect. However, evidence does suggest that purposely choosing to practice gratitude can increase happiness. Studies have been done, and it has been proven that if someone just keeps a simple list of things that he/she is thankful for,
My adrenaline was pumping. I had been waiting for this day. At “Get ready, set, go!” I began pulling with all my might. I wanted to win. It might just have been one of the most simple field day activities but this was war. Tug-of-war. I could tell all the girls were trying their hardest. The dirty, yellow bandana tied in a sturdy knot in the middle of the rope was swaying between the orange cone markers. Suddenly, there was slack from the opposite of the rope. In an instant the team heaved. Yes! We were gaining on the boys. The girl’s team swelled with confidence, but the boys weren’t going to give up that easily. The competition was fierce. Whenever the boys started gaining on us, we gained ground too. At one point we almost lost footing and
Every year, Christmas isn't complete without my mom's sweet treats and my family's love for food. Some of our relatives visit us on Christmas as it is so timely for little gatherings and reunions. All together with our relatives from a far, we enjoy Christmas eve with our common favorite-
