Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday! You get all the good eats and family time as you do at Christmas without the pressure to buy the perfect gift! I also love that its the lead into the Christmas season so everyone is cheery and anxious for all the things that the Christmas season brings.
Because of my love for Thanksgiving I have taken the time every year to make a list of at least 50 things I am thankful that happened during the course of the year. This list is usually in my journal so no one gets to see it. Now that I have entered the blog world I figured it was time to share my thankfulness with all those who follow.
