It’s that time of year again when gifts seem to take center stage for many people. Whether it is Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza or some other celebration, December seems to have become the month for giving and receiving gifts. There is an importance, an emphasis, on making sure just the right gift is chosen for each person in our life. Something that will bring them joy or excitement and will not be saved for the White Elephant exchange next year.

A New Thanksgiving Day Tradition

As Thanksgiving Day approaches my feelings about the celebrations surrounding it are very different than they have been in the past. I have come to understand the history I was taught surrounding this day is a bit skewed, having been presented from a very narrow point of view. A view that represented a small portion of the people inhabiting this place we call America and while it may be how some experienced their arrival and celebration of this new world, it is not representative of all the inhabitants nor even the majority. And so I question, what does Thanksgiving Day mean for me this year, a year in which the world I once knew no longer exists?

Picnics with family under a summer sun, watching community parades during the day and firework displays at night, or just having the day off, the Fourth of July represents a time of joy and celebration for our country. A day many of us look forward to with anticipation of fun and warm memories. But do our expectations lead us astray?
