Well now that November is here it is time for everyone to start thinking about Christmas, but I say wait! What about Thanksgiving?! I am a huge fan of Christmas, I will not travel to black Friday shop, but I will go locally and look for some deals. So, I am not a hater of all the black Friday hoopla, but I feel bad for Thanksgiving that it seems to be losing time and quality to black Friday. My family has never been black Friday shoppers, so Thanksgiving’s in the Spachman household were relaxing and not that eventful, but there are 5 things that make Thanksgiving one of my favorite days of the year:
5. Football
I love to watch football, especially the Detroit Lions. I don’t care if they lose fifty games in a row, that’s my team and it always will be. In the past Thanksgiving has been the Lions only nationally televised game as Detroit started the tradition of the Thanksgiving Day home game. When the team was bad a few years ago some suggested the lions didn’t deserve the noon spot on Thanksgiving. Regardless of the team being good or bad I always took tremendous pride knowing that the nation was watching my favorite team on Thanksgiving Day. Then the football goes all day long, the past several years there have been three NFL games. One right after another it is glorious!
