Thanksgiving Is Just The Tip Of The Iceberg

Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for all of the wonderful blessings in life, and Christmas is the time to help others.

7

In November, Thanksgiving is the holiday where thankfulness is questioned. "What are you thankful for?" is the question people of all ages are dying to hear the answer to. I am thankful for my family, my friends, my boyfriend, and so many other things in my life because I am blessed. Every day I wake up and I know I will be fed. I know I will be fortunate enough to attend college. I know I will eventually have a successful career. I know how blessed I am and I am thankful for it every day, not just on Thanksgiving. But, Thanksgiving is truly just the tip of the iceberg, the season of helping has arrived.

As December nears, parents that are less fortunate worry about how they are going to afford gifts for their children on top of how they are going to be able to pay all of their bills, and food, and every day needs. A lot of families all over the United States are poor or need help and this is more than ever, the time to help.

Getting involved is so easy. Whether you apply to help at the Food Bank in your local town, buy gifts for children, donate canned goods, or any other way to help, it doesn't matter. What does matter, however, is that you are helping.

I love the entire year. Well, for the most part. I'm not a big fan of Winter, but even then, every month has something that's pretty great. November? Thanksgiving. December? Winter Holidays. January? New Year's. February? Valentine's and Single Awareness Day. May? Existential dread during finals. But for me, March has always been my favorite month of the year, and for good reason.
