holiday season
Need Reason to Give Thanks?
Talkin’ with some friends at work today and the subject of Thanksgiving came up. I listened as everyone shared their plans and thought about mine. What a great celebration, a day to give thanks for all of the luxuries we have the pleasure of living with. I have never been at a loss for things to be thankful about on Thanksgiving, but shouldn’t we be giving thanks everyday?
We do live in one of the richest countries in the world and we have more food and medicine than we could ever use. Well so far anyways…. More than half of the people in the world live on less than $2 a day, and I know that they give thanks for the things that they have… but what are those things? Maybe just a meal (or even less than what we consider to be a meal), rain to grow food, a day without a military attack or death in the family.
Those of us who are fortunate enough to be with family this thanksgiving, make sure to take this opportunity to tell the loved ones around you how much they mean to you. If you do not have family to be with this holiday, there is always room at TadtheDad’s table, just hit me up…
Best wishes to everyone during this 2008 holiday season!
Halloween is Here
The leaves have changed color and are falling from the trees. The air is crisp and cool and we have our jack-o-lanterns carved and ready for Halloween. This is a great time of year in my opinion, sports fans have no shortage of action. Football, baseball world series, NBA basketball, hockey and the list goes on. The kids are pumped up for Halloween night and with school back in swing there is a sense of urgency added to everyone’s schedules. The long lazy days of summer have passed and we are heading into the holiday season.
Halloween is a time to express ourselves and change our appearance. All of this coming at the same time of year when Mother nature is expressing herslf by changing the landscape. Whether you are getting dressed up and going to a party or just taking your kids out for a night of trick or treating TadTheDad asks you to be safe and dress warm, and not to let the elements send you home early!
I will be posting pictures of the kid’s Halloween costumes when everything is done. Pierece will be a Frog, my niece will be Dorothy and I am going to be TadTheDad :) I actually had some T-Shirts made as well as Hoodies with the TadTheDad.com logo. Check it out…
Have a Happy and Safe Halloween!
