December 2008
















It was so much fun to read about some of your Thanksgiving holidays this past week. Thank you for all sharing a part of yourselves with us. It blessed me to read about your traditions and your nontraditions, welcoming new friends to your table, adapting your meal to your needs, and of course seeing photos that show the love that is shared with those who you care so deeply for.
Our Thanksgiving holiday is almost always spent in Manhattan. It started when my eldest was a baby and unless we are traveling to be with out of town family, you can always find us braving the cold air at an hour when most are still in bed, just to get a 'good spot' to see the Macy's Parade come down Central Park West and make its way to Herald Square. This year was no exception. After many hours cheering for the parade, we headed over to Rockefeller Center to see the Christmas tree, and made our way to our favorite eatery in the Theatre district.
As we wound down the holiday weekend in the City, we had managed to see a show, do some shopping in Soho, and spend endless hours walking and talking. It is always a great way for my family to begin our Christmas holiday season. Now it is December and I have way too much to do before the end of the month. May I be able to savor the special moments with those who are closest to me, and look forward to many more holidays together. Thank you Lord for Thanksgiving.

Sounds like you and your family really enjoyed your time together in the city! We want to take our kids to the parade someday....but I don't think they would really appreciate it yet,
