Thanksgiving Day Feast

When I think of Thanksgiving the first thing that comes to mind is, "Cool, I don't have to go to work today!" But I also think about the feast that is being prepared in the kitchen. The smell of the Turkey roasting in the oven, the smell of the pumpkin pies cooling on the counter. Preparing the feast is what Thanksgiving is about. Not to mention, the sharing of the food with all of our loved ones. I am thankful that I am given these little blessings.

What really amazes me this Thanksgiving holiday, is the amount of really lazy people that want someone to cook their feast for them. I work in a small local deli. You would not believe the amount of people that want us to cook their Thanksgiving dinner for them.  Come on people, are you really that lazy? Oh, I know, your just too busy!! When you tell them that you are closed on Thanksgiving day, they look at you like "your kidding me right?" Well folks, we have families too. I don't care how busy you are, how lazy you are, or how much money you have. I will be home, helping with filling my house with the smells of the holiday and enjoying my family and friends.

This Thanksgiving I am thankful for many things. (1) I can afford to buy a turkey (2) I am healthy enough to be able to cook a turkey (3)I have the good fortune to sit at our table with my loved ones to enjoy the feast that we cooked for ourselves.
