Thanksgiving is truly the only " Family " holiday. Great food, great family and friends. Doesn't get any better then that. Sadly, Christmas is slowly killing it earlier every year
Thankful for everything in my life
Bingo on that Glenn, and thank you SJ.
My wife and I have a growing Tday get together that is primarily our neighbors and a few other friends who do not have any or many family to be with.
And we are on our 22nd year of a huge New Years, multi day party that we host for my customers and friends I have raced with over the many decades I have known them. We actually call it an end of year party since we all made it again.
For those of us who do not have families Xmas is a marketing irritant with these other holidays that center around enjoyment. Be they held with family or friends.
Clearly this may be just my look at this since many still look forward to Xmas especially for what it used to mean and we can all respect that.
I also would like to add, Many happy days to those in the rest of the world to whom this holiday is not part of your heritage.
