Why Thanksgiving Is The Best

Yes, it's more than just the food.

1. The Food

Food is wonderful anytime of the year, but there's just something about the food made especially for the Thanksgiving holiday that makes the holiday so good. At any other time during the year, going to the grocery store, and coming out with a cart full of groceries and next-to-empty bank account would cause a feeling of annoyance and anxiety. However, it's different when Thanksgiving comes rolling around. Cooking at any other time during the year is something of a nuisance in some places, but cooking Thanksgiving dinner with your family is completely different. Staying up late into the night, cooking and cleaning, just has a more meaningful and sentimental aroma too it this time of year, It becomes more about doing these things alongside your family, just makes doing these things more manageable, and it make the Thanksgiving holiday on of the most fondly remembered.

2. Family

Thanksgiving is not remembered purely because of the food, but it also makes for some fond memories regarding family. Thanksgiving is a time when your family comes together, not matter how much they dislike together. And even if your whole family does not come together all at once, they at least have the urge too. At this time in the year, we have an insatiable urge to be surrounded and loved by other people. and giving thanks around the thanksgiving table is a perfect way to show how thankful you really are to have those around you.

3. Giving Back

Indeed, it is the "Season of Giving". There is a reason as to why the days leading up to and during the Thanksgiving Season, and it is because the giving back aspect of the holiday is what means the most, at least to me. It's a golden opportunity to give back to your community, because there are so many ordganizations who send out boxes of food, and serve Thanksgiving dinner to the needy, it's definitely not hard to find some way to help your community, you just have to have the heart to do it.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
