No I refuse to stop giving thanks. Every year for us, it is just us, I am use to making the day special for me and taking the time to stop and give thanks to GOD for what he has given me. I miss the big family gatherings of when I was a child. We never took the time then to truely be thankful it was just a big family gathering. Now I take the time get out the good dishes make special foods and say out loud what I am thankful for. My kids who are still at home roll their eyes but they too must say one thing they are thankful for.
