Take a Minute

I was watching TV today and saw that they’re playing Christmas commercials already! Don’t they know that it’s not even Thanksgiving yet?! I didn’t even see any Black Friday commercials!

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love Christmas but, I also love Thanksgiving. I mean seriously, they can’t just overlook the day the Pilgrims had a huge feast with the Indians. Plus it’s the American holiday where we stuff ourselves until we can’t fit anymore in us.

We can’t just overlook the tasty turkey, exceptional green beans, and homemade pumpkin pie.  One of my personal favorites is the cranberry sauce. My mom just bought some bags of cranberries, and that’s actually what inspired me to write this post. I’m so excited for Thanksgiving and I just feel like nobody is giving it a second thought.

I think we all need to take a minute and focus on the present rather than the future. Even though Thanksgiving is two weeks away I think we can all start thanking the people we love, or even the stranger we meet tomorrow. I think we should take a minute and enjoy the time we have right now. Think of everything from the year 2014 that you’re thankful for, and add onto it every day until Thanksgiving. You’d be surprised how long your list can get!
