Is Thanksgiving really the forgotten Holiday?

It's Wednesday night and Miguelito has no school tomorrow - Yay! It's also my day off from work since the school is closed : D  We just finished eating spaghetti tacos and watching Diary of A Wimpy Kid, now I'm here sitting in front of my computer, Miguelitos playing with his action figures and we're listening to "Live your Life - Rihanna" (one of Miguelito's favorite songs -lol )

As I sit here and think about the upcoming holidays I wonder why is it that Thanksgiving is somewhat overlooked due to the excitement of Christmas preparations. Have you noticed when going to a store to buy decorations the Thanksgiving ones are all crowded in a little corner somewhere, meanwhile you have aisles and aisles of Christmas decorations and knick knacks. Store window displays are all decorated with Santa Claus and Rudolph the red nose reindeer. So what happened to Thanksgiving and hanging up little pilgrims or Turkeys - Gobble Gobble.

I love Thanksgiving and all the excitement that comes with it : D Like the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade : D
We live three blocks away from where they inflate the balloons.The day before Thanksgiving is always
so much fun, I get to take Miguelito out from school early so that we can catch the balloon inflating - shhhhhh don't tell anybody....

We are really looking forward to Thanksgiving and the Macy's Thanksgiving parade especially since we will actually get to go to the parade this year. I've been putting it off for years due to the fact that I didn't want Miguelito to get sick  ( it's either been raining or been really cold the past years) and we have to wake up really early to get a good spot : D
