Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. There are many reasons. It is difficult to commercialize gratitude. There are no lines at the mall waiting to sit on a turkey's lap, asking for the latest iPod.
Thanksgiving has few surprises. It is on the same day each year - Thursday. The meal is usually the same each year, with an occassional new recipes thrown in.
Thanksgiving also has very few controversies. I have yet to hear about someone removing turkeys or pumpkins in front of someone's property because they were offended.
Thanksgiving is the most "organic" holiday of the year. There are less preservatives and more natural ingredients. What you see is what you get.
Thanksgiving is more relaxing. Those whose main task is preparing the meal may have a different opinion. Cooking can be very nurturing. At least that is what I read.
Thanksgiving is about thanksgiving. A question leads us into this holiday: "What are you thankful for?" At least once a year, we think about something other than ourselves.
What do you like about Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving -- I love it because my birthday or my dad's birthday usually fall either on or near it and we hang out... Or we used to. I hope we can again soon...
