Exchange

By Michael Argyelan


Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, awesome. It’s one of my favorite days. Pie, turkey, football, friends, family, more pie, inclement weather and all, I look forward to it each and every year.

Although distanced from the original 1621 celebration of hunting deer and menus completely absent of potatoes and turkey, the exchange of thanks is still front and center. This year let’s give thanks, enjoy the warmth of home, welcome even the most stubborn of our relatives, and be grateful together.

If you find yourself stuck in traffic, arguing about politics over dinner with your polar opposite cousin, or being forced to choose from a Jello loaf or a sugarless cake at dessert, remember to be magnanimous. Be noble, courageous in spirit, and generous. Make others feel right even when they are wrong. Be larger than life, grateful, and give thanks to all you encounter this holiday season.

From all of us here at Crowley’s, we wish you prosperity, warmth, and happiness.


Happy Thanksgiving!
