My Favorite Holiday

Now I enjoy most holidays, and I have some close seconds, but Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.

Now I’ll start off with my bias, my birthday is always right around Thanksgiving and sometimes on the holiday. Growing up I got the day off of school, every year until college, but at that point, it was fun because I got to see friends and go to chapel, in fact, my freshman year, the school brought in a comedy troupe that day. 

Second, its part of the fall season, and fall is my favorite season. I love the changing colors, the scents, the activities. Its such a beautiful time of the year in Minnesota where I’ve lived all my life. I will also add that it’s my favorite fashion season. 

Third, the food, I like turkey, a lot, and mashed potatos, a lot, and nearly everything else that’s on the table at Thanksgiving, that’s not to say I don’t love other holiday’s dishes. There’s just something special about Thursday’s plate.

Fourth, and most importantly, its a time to be thankful. I know this is obvious, but I’ll add that I enjoy being thankful for every holiday and what it means to me at this time. I am thankful for everything the Lord has provided in my life, especially salvation.

And people wonder why its my favorite holiday. 

I love it, I get my favorite foods, during my favorite season, I am far more likely to see family, and I get to celebrate my birhday.

I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve put up Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving and I’ve listen to Christmas music before Thanksgving and Christmas is a close second, but I’ll still be holding my ground on Thanksgiving as far as I can tell. So happy thanksgiving to all, and God bless.
