what's going on in their life. I will smile and nod most generously, 
but my focus is on Tom the Turkey. 

As my muse took me a little bit further down memory lane, I began to see
and appreciate the difference between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I 
know they are about a month apart, but there's a bigger difference than 
days when it comes to Thanksgiving and Christmas. 

Christmas is when you spend a whole lot of money buying Christmas
presents for everybody in your family even those that, well, how can I 
say it, is not on your nice list. 

Thanksgiving is quite different. Once I get beyond the turkey, I begin
to realize that the purpose of Thanksgiving is simply to give thanks. 

Christmas costs a lot, especially out of my wallet, but Thanksgiving
costs more but in a different currency. 

For Christmas, I have to work out a budget and I'm always, or should I
say my wife is always over budget. 

However, Thanksgiving is different. Thanksgiving is giving thanks and
that has no monetary value on it at all. 

Giving thanks is a good thing as David points out, “It is a good thing
to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most 
High” (Psalm 92:1). 

No matter how much coin I have in my pocket, giving thanks is the
richest thing I could possibly give.
