Happy Turkey Day!

Hey Everyone~

I hope you're having an amazing Thanksgiving, and let's be honest, how many of you sat for three hours in front of your tv watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade? I know I did. It's a tradition in my house to wake up late, and basically roll over to the tv. It's a lot of fun, and good, quality family television. Another tradition is long, hard, high calorie burning workout! However yummy all your holiday foods may be, they are absolutely loaded. So enjoy, but don't be a lazy bum!

I can't help but notice how all of retail skips Thanksgiving as a holiday (except for Nordstrom).
It's really important because it's the time of year where we give thanks for all that God has provided us with, and remember our ancestors that originally came to America (hopefully anyways) for religion freedom. Can you imagine having enough faith to leave everything you knew? Your country, culture, family in many cases, and really your lives? That's exactly what the first pilgrims did, and for that, we set aside this "grateful" day to remember their sacrifices and hard work. Let's just forget for one day all the controversy that surrounds their journey, and be grateful that they did journey.

Anyways, hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!!!
