Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. It defies consumerism and sneers at materialism. It drives us back to the warmth of home and the love of family. Be thankful, enjoy your family, celebrate with feasting. And don’t miss Bill Kauffman’s excellent The Grinch Who Moved Thanksgiving over at the Front Porch. Happy Thanksgiving!
