I guess it’s because I’m not a religious person, and don’t really hang around any either.
I give thanks for friends, family, health, ect. and guess I do know it’s religious based, but I don’t look at it from that angle.
I’m more Santa than baby Jesus at Christmas also.
It is a special holiday though, and I hope everyone gets to be in touch with the special people in their lives and come out the other side better off for it. Be safe have fun and happy Thanksgiving everyone.

I’ll actually have to look that hymn up, because my family’s tradition has always been to sing the Doxology instead (to the usual tune of the “Old Hundredth”, which tune indeed works very well with that psalm as metered in the Old Bay Psalm Book).

Happy Thanksgiving to all, even the weird Canadians who celebrated a month early.

We celebrate to honor the, still, beautiful tapestry of our current relationships, those who are now with us only in spirit, and in preparation of those to come who will stand tall on our shoulders. Isn’t it great to be alive?
