It seems Thanksgiving has become a day that we bounce over in anticipation of Christmas, and boy is that true in the retail world. I loved your comment about the "I Don't Have Club." I'm afraid I'm an on again off again member. And thanks for your reminder to give thanks. Take care, Martha Wow Christopher, is this ever true.

After reading your blog, well, I still don't know how I'm going to get the house clean, but I quickly realized that a clean house isn't what Thanksgiving is about. It's about truly being grateful for the people we love, having a turkey to try to squeeze in the fridge, and the fact that while it's true, I am tired after a day at work, I am grateful that I have a job. It's about looking around us and seeing what we can do to make the world a better place. So, the house might not be pristine (I can pretty much guarantee it won't be), but I am truly thankful that I will have my family around me. And you know what? I won't even mind a little football.
