Closing-Thankful
When I look back at the Holiday, I always think of some of those cozy fun memories outside of the traditional time with family and friends. For me, it was the Late Night with David Letterman show when he would call his mom on Thanksgiving. Did you remember those phone calls he used to make and try to guess which pie she was making? My other fond memory is Bob Hope introducing the College Football All American team. No one could welcome in the Holidays for all of America like Bob Hope.
Enjoy these days! -Chad
