They've posted signs saying they're not decking their halls until after Turkey Day. <br /><br />By the way, you forgot one holiday between Halloween and Thanksgiving...Veterans Day!!!

But being a military brat meant that my "family" on Thanksgiving changed every year... some family were added, others went away. I also spent five years of my childhood overseas and Thanksgiving was the time when we... my Dad, my Mom, my sister, and my Dad's friends and comrades-in-arms' families... celebrated our American traditions. So... Thanksgiving means a lot to me, as well.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-39070911127178950652012-11-03T08:41:09.413-07:002012-11-03T08:41:09.413-07:00Thank you Michelle.

I especially like what you said about school nowadays. My kids are homeschooled and it's very entertaining to hear them discuss the politics of the day and know who the political players are. They know senators and representatives of other states. They are also learning about ALL the signers of the Declaration, Latin (talk about a dead language), and will be reading the Constitution.michelle.starlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15582114636535914425noreply@blogger.com
