Right now a lot of you may be on the road, staring contently out the window, down at the white laser that shifts slightly as it contours and sidelines the paved miles. A backdrop of trees and hillsides smear together from the speed of the highway. In the rear seat, the kids finger scroll on a phone or pluck away with their thumbs on a hand-held game. The silence of the road, the droll hum of rubber speeding on asphalt, offers a welcome respite from what?s behind you. Everyone needs a break.
Ahead through the windshield, somewhere up there, your family is hurrying to prepare for you, running errands, searching for the right pot and double checking for spots on the good silverware. Someone is fumbling with the legs of the kids? table. Next year there?ll be a new one. The thoughts make you smile as the underpasses pass overhead and the whole scene gets closer with every green highway sign.
Thanksgiving, thankfully, is the good holiday, the one that sells the least amount of home decor and isn?t measured by the depth of the wrapping paper pile. We can?t let discounts and two-for-ones take over the one holiday that?s still, really, about family, the one that?s centered on togetherness.
We hope your trip to be with family is a great one. We hope you?re looking forward to somber naps and coffee after dinner with friends or people you haven?t seen since you had coffee with them last year. It?s the small moments that make the big holidays. Stay warm, make it special.
Just another couple of turns now. There?s their street, it looks like the neighbors repainted. The crowded driveway is a welcome sight. A child appears in the doorframe, her hand on the knob, the other gripping a doll?s arm.
This is what you?re thankful for.
Happy Thanksgiving.
