 <\/p>\n

I hope your planning to eat with moderation and get some home projects done instead of laying on the couch watching football all weekend! \u00a0Don’t worry I’ll take care of that for you!!! \u00a0 All joking aside, I hope you are truly getting ready for a glorious Thanksgiving! \u00a0May I make a ten suggestions that will make it one of the best ever??<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. \u00a0 If your parents are still living and you get to see them, tell them how much you appreciate all they sacrificed for you! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. \u00a0If you have a living relative that knows all about your family tree, ask them to tell you about everyone they can remember and record it or at least write it all down!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. \u00a0Tell your children, or grandchildren, or nephews and nieces how much you love them, and take the time talk to them and listen to what they want to share with you.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. \u00a0Sometime Thursday, go off alone and get down on your knees and thank God properly for all He has done for you! \u00a0Asking him to help you become the man or woman He wants you to be!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. \u00a0Call a friend you haven’t talked to in while and catch up!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. \u00a0 Take a few minutes to count your blessings, write them down, and look at them for a while, and rediscover how wealthy you are!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. \u00a0Donate some food or money to a local church or shelter that will feed the homeless. \u00a0If you really want a blessing serve some food to them or deliver some thanksgiving food baskets.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8. \u00a0Watch at least an hours worth of the Macy’s Parade and remember the joy of your Christmas seasons as a child.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9. \u00a0Sometime over the weekend watch one of the many great versions of \u00a0A Christmas Carol, and remember what the spirit of Christmas giving is about. \u00a0*The best one is the 1951 version with Scrooge played by Alastair Sim. \u00a0My opinion…… \u00a0For the kids try The Muppet’s Christmas Carol, great music!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10. \u00a0Pray for all those less fortunate than yourself this holiday.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And lastly, \u00a0have a wonderful time with your family and friends. \u00a0As for me, I’m thankful for having you out there coming here day after day, \u00a0to visit with me! \u00a0O.K. have a second and third helping!!!!<\/p>\n
