Thanksgiving The Forgotten Holidayby Franci Hart
Our marketing cycle rushes from Halloween right to Christmas, running over one of the most beautiful holidays of the year. Thanksgiving is a time for family gathering, recognizing blessings and creating lasting memories.

I arrived late Wednesday night. Jamie had proudly gathered all the ingredients for a sumptuous Thanksgiving dinner. The plan was for me to teach her how to make cornbread dressing, among other delicacies. The next morning to our dismay we discovered that she has forgotten to thaw the turkey. We used a hair dryer, warm water, anything we could think of the get the turkey unfrozen. Finally, at 10 pm we had a delicious Thanksgiving dinner. The added benefit was that her boyfriend, soon to be her husband, got to eat his first Southern version of Thanksgiving. READ MORE
