The best thankful quotes for a special holiday

It is almost Thanksgiving. Less than a week away, it will soon be the big day. For those planning a traditional Thanksgiving holiday, the countdown has begun. Finally the meal planning and grocery shopping are complete. With a little time to spare. Now it’s all about preparation and cooking. With some quality family time when possible.

The gathering of family and friends is part of what makes the Thanksgiving holiday a special occasion. The feeling of togetherness and fellowship are essential parts of the gathering. It’s what makes the holiday special. Combine that with the theme of the holiday, and it’s easy to find reasons for being thankful. A day for giving thanks only happens once a year. Although it can take place everyday of the year, there’s only one official day set aside as a holiday.
