The holidays...

Is that time of the year once again! This lapse of time brings every family a whole lot of memories from the childhood. The memories are irreplaceable and can be very joyful most of the times; but at times can be hurtful as well. In this case if you lost someone special or have fond memories of a certain individual, this is where the sadness comes. We all have to make this holiday season a joyful time of remembrance. Looking back at things that happened in our lives that brings us special memories...

To move away from the above subject, we can now all talk about what we all do during this Thanksgiving break! What is your way of celebrating Thanksgiving? Who do you spend it with? Is there an important significant meaning to these for you?

In my case; this is my special family time where I spend it with all the people I love and care. We eat a prepared turkey, with it's accompanying dishes, a wine or some kind of juice, and the dessert; can't forge that!

We then talk and talk, reminisce about what we all did throughout the year. We joke around and remember funny stuff that happened during the year. We also remember the people we lost in our life during that year. It simply a time to of remembrance; some quality time with those people that mean the most to you.

In some cases, you don't spend these days with those people and some sadness might appear. It might be because your husband or wife are out on military duty, other times it might be because of work or something related. But most of the times it's simply because we just can't make it for an X reason and that's the hard part of this time. We just have to make it work, pray that everybody is going to be OK, and spending this holiday time with the people that bring joy and caring!

What ever you're doing, enjoy it and cherish it! Because you don't know what the next day might bring or if you will see those people ever again. Thanksgiving, Christmas and the New Year are probably to me the best holidays of the year; that's simply because what all of them have in common: Unity and some family quality time!

Happy Thanksgiving to all...and if I do not hear from you between now and the New Year; I wish you all the best time of year!!!
