Thanksgiving will always be my favorite holiday. It has all the same great qualities of Christmas, without all the focus on presents and toys. I love the cooking and preparation, I love the sound of the Macy's parade and the dog show. Thanksgiving is a holiday that we all can agree on. There is no fighting about Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas. Thanksgiving is kind of perfect.

Thank you, Thanksgiving

Thank you for being a less stressful holiday than Christmas.

Thank you for being less expensive.

Thank you for having all the same great food but less of the present disappointment. (We all know we did NOT want all those strange sweaters.)

Thank you for being a day that we all agree on celebrating.

Thank you for being a small break that feels balanced.

Thank you for bringing my family together.

Thank you for taking up less time than Christmas.

Thank you for the Ukanuba Dog show because that thing is awesome.

Thank you for happening before it gets too cold.

Thank you for just being one day, but many meals (bring on the Tupperware).

Thank you for all the fond memories, thank you for the future memories.

Thank you for reminding us all that we can find at least one thing to be thankful for.

Thank you for giving me more time to study for finals.

Thank you for being Thanksgiving, because without you, America could not be the America we all know.

Thank you Thanksgiving, keep doing great things.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin.
