Happy Thanksgiving!

So begins another holiday season in Everett. The newspapers are chock full of Christmas ads already, peddling everything from the latest in electronics to toys that are guaranteed to break on December 26th. The radio is blaring Christmas music already. You have to wonder where Thanksgiving went? Thanksgiving is turning into the Christmas gateway - a holiday to be rushed through in order to get to the good stuff. Well, we refuse. We're doing Thanksgiving, dammit! Bring on the family and friends! Bring on the feast! Most of all...let us be grateful for our many blessings.

We have much for which to be thankful. If you have your health, a roof over your head, a job, and food on the table - you are way, way ahead of so many people.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
