Family, friends came one and all,
Answering the turkey's call,
Devoured we the Butterball,
And we were truly thankful.
But more than turkey and sage dressing,
Thanksgiving is to ponder blessing,
with grateful hearts our voices raised sing,
"We are truly thankful!"
Now to relish in the pleasin'
Smells and sights of Noel season.
For Jesus Christ, the Holy Reason,
We are truly thankful.
I absolutely love the beauty and wonder of the story of Jesus' birth. I love the celebration and tradition that surrounds that glorious day. Yes, I am one of those who starts listening to Christmas music the day after Thanksgiving. It's appropriate, I think, to move from Thanksgiving to Gloria in excelsis deo....this is most definitely one of my favorite times of year!

Oh yay! Pictures! Love you and your wonderful poem!
We do the exact same thing! Thanksgiving marks the beginning of the Holiday season for us and the day after we are playing Christmas music and soon thereafter, Christmas decorations make their way into our home! Love this season! It's the most wonderful time of the year!!!
I'm embarrassed....jk:)
