Thanks for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving! I love Thanksgiving. I decided to list the top ten things I am grateful for about the actual day.

1. Turkey--I think Benjamin Franklin was right...the turkey is a magnificent bird...and definitely yummy.
   
2. Football -- This keeps my dad interested while I get to just chat with my mom.
   
3. Pie--no explanation needed.
   
4. No work--Tons of work, but nothing job related. I appreciate the change!
   
5. The NAP--Maybe I'm the only one, but I love taking an afternoon nap between the meal and the eating of pie...even if it is only 15 minutes.
6. Thanks List--I like hearing what my family is grateful for even only for one day.
7. Cooking--It is a day dedicated to cooking. I feel like I never have time to cook, but here is a whole day to spend in that pursuit.
8. A day to prepare--I think the eating is storing energy for the next day shopping trip!
9. Thanksgiving Movie--Traditionally, my mom and I go see a movie...yay!
10. MOST IMPORTANTLY--I GET TO LISTEN TO CHRISTMAS MUSIC WITHOUT ANYONE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT BEING BEFORE THANKSGIVING!!

"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas..."
