It's more than food

It's almost Thanksgiving already this year has flown by. As my granddaughter who is three was over I began talking to her about all that I had to do to get ready. She listened quietly as I talked about all the special food I was planning on making. Then I asked her if she was excited that it was almost time to gather for Thanksgiving. Her response "I don't like Thanksgiving all we do is eat." As I looked at her thinking about her response she says "I eat everyday." I smiled as I realized that she was right everyday we should be thankful for our food. Then I explained that it was a special dinner because everyone would come over to visit then she said "OK I will come over for Thanksgiving." Thanksgiving is more than just eating it's a time that we are all thankful that we can enjoy each other and while we are there we eat.
