Not A Fan of Thanksgiving

I don't know for some reason I'm just not a fan of Thanksgiving.   That may be why I didn't object when they told me I had to work today.   So I'm writing from the station where I'm helping out on the assignment desk answering phones and such and then writing for the 5pm and 6pm shows.   So back to the reason for this post.   Some people find it hard to beleive that I don't jump for joy when Thanksgiving and Christmas come around.   I can't remember ever being a holiday person.   O.K. maybe when my grandmother was still alive because I enjoyed her cooking and just being in the kitchen when they cooked.   But I'll put aside my slight disdain for the holiday in order to say I am thankful for life, for family (even though by tomorrow I'll be ready to escape them), for friends (especially the ones who remember to check in on you when normally you do all the checking), and for the promise of tomorrow.   Happy Thanksgiving.
