Thanksgiving Check Out

Tina developed this post a couple of Thanksgivings ago. At the time she said she was having fun with the idea of how we frantically and joyfully engage in the Thanksgiving traditions of over-eating, over-indulgence and sharing, while at the same time giving thanks for all of the abundance in our lives. Yet, despite all our “food” and preparation stressing, deep inside we know that while the food is delicious and “feel good,” Thanksgiving is not really about the food. It is about who we share our table with—often the most important people in our lives.

With regard to Tina’s original intent, Tina's sketch depicts our deep dedication to the foods that to each of us mean "family."  Maybe it's easier for us to focus on foods and logistics rather than the more challenging subjects at hand.  Also, how can we not appreciate the double entendre of "checking out."  She's got us covered! (Not that I personally know anyone that checks out for the holidays.) And, I am loving the bouquet for the table!
