Holiday season has already begun. Halloween kicked us off, now Thanksgiving is less than a month away and Christmas follows soon after. By then we will all just want to ring in the new year with the same old wish "I hope this year is better than the last". One of these holidays, however is really underappreciated.

Thanksgiving. Think about how much joy is found in this holiday that is so easily overlooked. Families gather together and eat more food than they probably should, but what more could you ask for! Plus, this is a time to remember why we should be thankful. Between all of our amazing family members, the large amounts of delicious food, and the memories made, there are a lot of reasons to smile.

Everyone needs a reminder every once in a while. This time of the year we are reminded of all the reasons we should be thankful for what we have. Each of our unique lives have so much to offer us, and a world without everything we had and everyone we know would be so plain. So, stores tone it down on the Christmas decorations being put out in October. Put Black Friday shopping on the back burner, because contrary to popular belief, the material goods you receive or buy will not be the best part of your holiday season. Give Thanksgiving a little bit of time to do its thing. While you're at it, along the way always, always be thankful.
