This is late but sincere. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
But while you're doing it consider a few things. First this is basically a religious holiday...you're giving Thanks to God for the blessing of the year, which has been turned into a secular eat and spend fest.
Something is wrong (in my opinion) with that. Additionally I want you to think about this. Many Christian organizations are jumping thru hoops to get Syrian Muslims into the US and Europe, yet at the same time are turning a blind eye to people in their own countries that are hurting...hungry...and desperate. There is something wrong with that.
Last but not least, I can't help but think about what we're gonna see later tonight. Consumerism on steroids. People will rush out to buy stuff they don't need to satisfy a requirement that isn't there. They will claw, punch, scratch...and a few will steal to meet this artificial need.
Disgusting.
I really do hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving but I wish that all who read this to stop, consider and chart a different course from the average Westerner.
Dare to be different! Dare to think! It won't be easy and you will be ostracized for doing it but I really believe it's worth the effort.
