Only a few weeks away from my favorite holiday of all time: Thanksgiving. Despite no presents or luxurious vacations, Thanksgiving is my favorite time of year. Being with family and friends, having excellent food, and really being "thankful" (as cliche as this is), really means more to me than vigorously unwrapping presents or waiting in line to check into a Mexican resort.
A few days ago, I was explaining to a friend about the post-Thanksgiving tradition in my Chicago suburb. She seemed relatively bored up until I said "and then it looks so nice in the snow". All of a sudden that caught her attention. "Snow? During Thanksgiving?? What?!?" This Arizona native seemed so confused with the thought, but then I realized something. Without snow, Thanksgiving would have a completely different meaning. Without the sub 30 degree weather, staying indoors with warm food just wouldn't be the same.
At least not to me...
