"But it's desperately important to remember what makes Thanksgiving so special: it's not about giving gifts, or receiving them. It's about a meal, about family, and about celebrating the gifts we've already been given. It's about exercising gratitude and grace, regardless of the money in our accounts or the gadgetry in our homes. That sort of thankfulness and mindfulness deserves more than one meal, or one day."
