-Thanksgiving is so much more than feasting on delicious food. It’s a day when families and friends get together to spend time exchanging stories, and enjoying each other’s company. It’s also a day when we show our appreciation for our loved ones and our life and talk about everything that we are thankful for, especially this year. I wish that you are bestowed good health, happiness, and all the best things in your life. Enjoy your Thanksgiving day with your loved ones!
