11 Reasons to Be Grateful This Thanksgiving

As we gather for Thanksgiving at our home each year, we not only take a moment for a prayer but also share what we’re thankful for. This tradition occurs right before the grand feast, which often leads to a common theme of gratitude centered around food. However, beyond the obvious—like family, health, and having a roof over our heads—there are several unique things I truly appreciate.

1. I am grateful for children who can sleep in until at least 8 AM. Even better are those who, upon waking, head straight to the living room, turn on the Thanksgiving parade coverage, pour themselves some chocolate milk, and don’t inquire about my whereabouts until much later. This tranquility is invaluable.

2. I appreciate that our family does not partake in Turkey Trots or 5K runs on Thanksgiving. While I admire those who choose to be active on a holiday centered around indulgence, I opted to remain comfortably on the couch last year instead of signing up for a local event.

3. Wine is a big part of my gratitude list—especially the larger bottles!

4. I am thankful for family members who engage with the kids through games like football, Xbox, or Uno while I handle the vast meal preparations. Their willingness to entertain keeps the kids occupied, allowing me to focus on cooking without any interruptions.

5. I feel a sense of relief when the holiday passes without my kids bickering. It’s a rarity, but it’s something I truly appreciate.

6. Similarly, I am thankful for a peaceful gathering without any adult disagreements. Maintaining harmony among grown-ups is just as important.

7. I cherish any day when I don’t have to wear a bathing suit, particularly when so much food is consumed. Compared to summer holidays, this is a significant plus.

8. Did I mention wine again?

9. I am grateful for those who immediately clear the table after the meal, efficiently organizing the kitchen cleanup. Their enthusiasm transforms what could be a daunting task into a manageable one, and I often feel like celebrating their efforts.

10. I appreciate that we only host Thanksgiving and not any other holiday gatherings. It simplifies our lives and allows us to focus on making this day special.

11. And of course, I am thankful for the leftovers that provide delicious meals long after the festivities have ended.
