zwitterkitsuneTo all my fellow Americans, I want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving.
This holiday may be emotionally and historically charged for some, and as someone with Native American heritage himself, I can certainly understand the reasoning behind it being so. However, I look at this holiday not with a historical or emotional lens, but from a more modern one. In today's America, it seems to be that the prevalent mindset in the majority of folks is to get what you can and screw everyone else around you. So to me, having a day set aside on the calendar to remind people, if just for a day, to look up from their phones and at those around them, and be thankful that they are there, can't be bad thing.
We could get into a huge discussion about the many things that are wrong about this holiday, and many of these discussions are not without merit, but for the time being I would like to remind you all about what this holiday should really be about. Looking to the many things you have, the bounty in your lives, and those around you, and being thankful for it all.
So, once again to all my fellow Americans, and to all my friends overseas how may or may not observe this holiday with us, and to our neighbors who did so a month earlier (Thanks for cutting the turkey before we showed up, buddy!), I want to tell you all that I'm very thankful for all of you. Your smiles and your comments, your random shouts on my page at times that almost goes to prove you're all telepathic and know when I'm having a bad day, the laughs we all share together, and the shoulders to cry on when I have needed one, I am thankful for all of you most of all.
Happy Thanksgiving.

*chuckles and smiles*
Glad we could keep the turkey warm for ya :P
In all seriousness though I hope your day goes awesome and that you cherish those around you.
This was beautiful and so true. We can’t change the past, but we need to work towards and be thankful for a more positive future.
And look, no swears or anything!
*chuckles*
And thanks, cause the turkey was nice and warm when I got there.
*snugs*
Oddly, we also have Black Friday here.
