Holiday Thoughts For Thanksgiving

By Abe Kongsri


Christmas and New Year often overshadow the Thanksgiving Holidays. In many ways however Thanksgiving is more important than these other holidays and a time to reflect on the year past. Lets not forget Thanksgiving Dinner which is a major highlight of the holiday. It's often the case that the host will make preparations well ahead of the actual day to ensure Thanksgiving dinner is the best it can be.

For large families, the women consider it a privilege to cook for their men as well as the rest of the relatives. There are also many recipes that are brought out JUST for this occasion.

If you live far away, you sometimes have to choose between visiting home for Thanksgiving or Christmas. It's not always possible to travel home for both holidays. If you are faced with such a decision, one option is to alternate each year. They may make it home one year for Thanksgiving and the next year for Christmas. In terms of travel, its usually easier to book air or train tickets for thanksgiving Thanksgiving. Christmas holidays on the other hand do require that you book well in advance to have any chance of getting a seat.

One big attraction for many people is the four day holiday during Thanksgiving. Some businesses will open up on the Friday but many keep the doors shut until Monday morning This make the decision to travel for the long weekend easier. The day after Thanksgiving is also know for its low prices sales and some shops offer the best deals of the year. The day after Thanksgiving will also see many folks starting to decorate their home for Christmas.

But what if you are away from your family and friends at Thanksgiving? If you can't be with family and friends for this Thanksgiving then look for other parties and events to enjoy. There are usually lots of events and parties going on at Thanksgiving so there is no need to be alone. Being alone during the holidays can be tough but there are lots of other options to join in the fun. This means Thanksgiving 2011 too. There are still plenty of people who are alone at Thanksgiving. Who knows, you may be able to get a group of like minded people together and celebrate Thanksgiving together.
