Whats On Your Table

Whats On Your Table This Thanksgiving what will be on your table or if not your table, the table of those you are visiting? Does it matter, really? Thanksgiving has to be more than a feast in my opinion.   Therefore, what is on the table is nowhere near as important as whos around the table. Sure, sharing food, ie. breaking bread, is a wonderful way to unite, but it isnt all about the food. This Thanksgiving, be grateful for the people in your life.   Be appreciative that you have a roof over your head and that you are healthy enough to be sitting at the table.   These are the most important things in life.   Try and keep it in perspective. It isnt about the fancy side dishes, the gorgeous looking bird or the fine china and crystal. Put down your smart phone, step away from the computer, heck, even turn off the television for awhile.   These distractions take away from the finer points of this holiday.   Tell stories or ask senior family members to share their favorite stories of holidays past.   Ask the youngest ones to share their fondest memories.   Try to make it a multi-generational experience. What has been your favorite Thanksgiving memory?   Or perhaps, you have a Thanksgiving-gone-bad story to tell.   Either way, share your story!
