Thanksgiving comes one month before Christmas. This gives us the opportunity and a little reminder to practice giving thanks before the season of getting stuff begins. It also usually comes a little while before Chanukah for the same reason. Of course, this year Chanukah comes a bit early and starts on Thanksgiving so we might want to start practicing giving thanks a little sooner – like today.
I am thankful for all the
traditions of Thanksgiving. I grew up in metro Detroit so
Thanksgiving tradition meant the big Hudsons Thanksgiving Day Parade
(a frozen treat I later got to share with my kids), going to the
Lions game with Dad and having lots of turkey and cranberry sauce
with my family.
The Petoskey parade features the Petoskey High School Marching Band along with floats and stuff from many of our favorite local business and community groups. It could feature your group if you click here for an application.
I seem to remember that as a kid I looked forward to some rather large and happy elf showing up at the end of the parade and getting a key to the hearts of the children of Detroit from the mayor.
