This is my favorite holiday because it's simple and it includes everyone It's not over commercialized. It's not just for certain people. It's for all of us: the simple message that we should pause, understand what we have, appreciate it and give thanks. It's about people more than parties. It's about values more than possessions.
Maybe one reason I like Thanksgiving so much is its similarity to camp. Because camp is really a simple concept. It's about people who care for each other. It's about having a good time because we are together. It's about taking the time to talk to each other and express how we feel. It doesn't have to be fancy or glitzy. Yet we have endless fun and learn more than we ever expected and expand our understanding of the world through the people we meet. What could be better?
Best wishes to you, your family and friends, for the most meaningful and wonderful Thanksgiving ever.
Tom
