One holiday at a time

I enjoy the holiday of Thanksgiving. A time set aside each year to remember what we have to be thankful for. To pause a second in our crazy world, with our crazy schedules and take a deep breath and be thankful, count our blessings and let gratitude seep into our hearts and minds! Wow, the feeling of contentment and being blessed is overwhelming.

However in today's marketing blitz the need to sell us items for Christmas makes many stores overlook Thanksgiving. Which I feel cause people to "feel" stressed, panic, and overwhelmed with "agh! I need to get stuff, do stuff, more, more, more!". That is why I respect and appreciate Nordstrom refusal to jump off a cliff, just because other retail stores are (putting Christmas stuff out even before Halloween!).



- how different would Christmas be celebrated if people went into that season if the year with a thankful heart. How do you keep Thanksgiving?
