If you think it is almost Thanksgiving and you aren't thankful- not filled with gratitude, then you are exactly entirely normal. If the pilgrims had only known that they would be starting a tradition of self-loathing, stuffing and gluttony, they might have thought twice before popping that corn and placing those fish around the kernels of corn. They might have continued on in their own traditions of prudence, temperance, and hostility toward tolerance.
Now that their are stores that begin the Christmas sales in October, Christmas sales on Thanksgiving Day, and the after Christmas sales on Christmas Eve. Then I would sound like those same pilgrims by trying to remind anyone to focus on any single moment without first giving some sort of calendar and liturgical coordinates. These are the difficult days- too early to send Christmas cards and too late to carve pumpkins. It is the moment to be grateful for the days of autumn, of harvest, of bounty- even family- pray hard.
