Well, Thanksgiving's come and gone, and already we have our house fully decked-out Christmas-style. I guess I'm still in that transition phase, the one where you've already had your tryptophan nap, but you still aren't singing any Christmas songs. I suppose it's still taking a while for the Christmas spirit to spread, but in the meantime, I'm still thinking about what I'm thankful for. Food, shelter, family, my PSP - you know, the essentials. But in all actuality, I think it's no mistake that we first look at and appreciate what we have before we start drooling over what we don't. Thanksgiving, to me, is a reminder that I need to see what I have, and how I'm lucky to have it. That way, when I'm still transitioning, I don't show complete disregard for the family and friends I already have in the pursuit of the toys and clothes that I don't.
So, when you do start forming your Christmas list, just remember that if by chance you don't get your top-of-the-list item, money can't buy the people you love, and deep down, cherish the most.
