A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog about how Thanksgiving always gets the short end of the stick. I said I felt bad for Thanksgiving as a holiday because everyone overlooked Thanksgiving and began preparing for Christmas. Now that we’re quickly approaching Christmas, I remember why Christmas gets all the attention. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year!

 

Because of all the terrible events that have occurred lately, I thought it necessary to write my Christmas blog a bit early. This time of year especially, it’s easy to get caught up in the stress of the season and not enjoy it for what it is, and what it is meant to be. Through all the pain, struggle, and anger, I see a good world full of great people. I’m very thankful for great customers, friends, family, and bloggers for making this year the best year yet!

 

My Christmas wish for you is that you are able to enjoy Christmas with those that mean the most to you. Take some time to unwind, relax, and enjoy a beautiful day. After all, it is the most wonderful time of year for a reason. As you are out and about trying to score some great last-minute deals, enjoy it! Gift giving is supposed to be a fun thing to do for others, not an obligation to dread. Basically, make the most of your holiday season!

 

From myself, and all of us at Bounce and Slide Texas, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year! Have a tremendous holiday week!

 

Why I Feel Bad For Thanksgiving

A couple of weeks ago, the DJ’s on my favorite radio station were joking about how Thanksgiving is forgotten in the holiday season. As I started looking around, I quickly realized that they were right. Christmas is everywhere. The closest thing to celebrating Thanksgiving is all the commercials about Black Friday, which of course, also has to do with Christmas. Christmas decorations are proudly being hung everywhere. Even radio stations that used to wait for Thanksgiving to begin their selection of holiday music have begun early.

No matter which way you look at it, Thanksgiving is neglected. But not from me. Not this year. I love food too much to completely over look Thanksgiving. Don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas. But isn’t there something to be said for slowing down, and enjoying the entire holiday season, not just Christmas? With that said, I’m going to start now.

 

I’m so very thankful for my friends and family that mean the world to me. I’m thankful that I have people who I can count on during busy holiday seasons. I love relaxing with my family and friends, but I also enjoy working hard. This year has been one of the most exciting years of my life. I’ve started yet another business, and I’m thankful for all of our great customers that have helped make this new business venture a success. I’m thankful that I live in a country that allows me to share my expertise with my community, and I’m thankful for the community support.

 

Although I feel that Thanksgiving gets the short end of the holiday stick, I’m thankful for a day of rest and relaxation with my family and friends. So, from Bounce and Slide Texas, Happy Thanksgiving. I hope your day is full of fun and relaxation with those that mean the most to you.
