Perhaps, it’s just me, but I hate the way Thanksgiving has lost it’s significance. I have much to say about this, but that will have to wait until Monday’s post. Today, I’m doing a “Throwback Thursday” by sharing a post that originally appeared two years ago in advance of Thanksgiving.
Be sure to stop by on Monday to find out how I really feel about the loss of Thanksgiving Thursday.
Front porch lessons. (Wednesday’s Wisdom)
From the front porch, my mama taught me:
- To wait my turn.
- That it’s rude to push or shove.
- Name calling is unacceptable.
- And, patience is a virtue.
Now, I’m not pointing fingers, but isn’t it funny how some forget that at this most wonderful time of year.
I share the lessons from my front porch yesterday:
Sad. Et tu, Turkey?
But, just when I thought all hope was lost for a gracious holiday season, I was surprised by this random act of kindness moments later.
Only to realize, things aren’t always as they seem…
How will you keep from pushing too hard this holiday season?
Wishing everyone a very happy and “push-free” day before Thanksgiving!
(With gratitude to my archer and her little sister for the re-enactment and documentation of yesterday’s events.

I LOVE Christmas. It is my absolute favorite holiday! Perhaps that is why I get sooo agrgavated that it is being shoved down our throats! I don’t start shopping, listening to Christmas music or decorating until after Thanksgiving. I don’t shop Black Friday.

Super cute story and pics. I am adament that not one Christmas decoration, light, or song comes into our around my home until AFTER December 1st. I can’t stand how stores have swimsuits on the racks in January and Christmas on the shelves in July! Thanks for sharing my sentiments! XOXO-Kasey
