Tomorrow, most of us will be gathered around the dinner table with family and friends, enjoying a delicious turkey dinner (or whatever traditional holiday food your family prepares). The point is that Thanksgiving is a holiday that allows us to spend quality time with our loved ones. It's also a time to give thanks for everything you are grateful for.
