Happy Thanksgiving from the Bank.com Mortgage Blog!
Just wanted to take the time to, on behalf of the Banks.com Mortgage Blog, wish you all a very:
Happy Thanksgiving!
I’ve come to the conclusion that Thanksgiving is, in fact, my favorite holiday. I was pondering this when my husband asked me, “If Christmas isn’t your favorite holiday, 
what is?” And I realized that, even though I knew I Christmas wasn’t my favorite holiday, I hadn’t really thought about it before. I like the tree and everything, but I just have a visceral reaction to all the garishness and materialism that comes with Christmas.
So, after much thought, and realizing how much I’ve been looking forward to Thanksgiving, I had an epiphany. Thanksgiving is about my favorite things:
- Family
- Food
A holiday that allows me to eat delicious comfort food that I don’t normally eat — and to do it with my family. Plus, there’s no pressure to buy gifts. Perfect!
Thanksgiving, for me, is a time of reflection. I have been in my house for a year, and so I am grateful that I was able to buy a home before things went bad. I am also thankful for my family and friends, and especially my darling son and loving husband. And I am glad that I can work from home and earn a good living. I have my health to be thankful for as well. The list could go on.
And that’s another reason I love Thanksgiving. It’s a time to just feel good about life. When you are thinking about contentment and what you enjoy about life, you are generally in a happier (and healthier) place than if you are focused on what you wish you had. So, while wanting isn’t always a bad thing, it is a good thing to sit back and be happy with what you already have.
Is Thanksgiving your favorite holiday? Why or why not?
