Now, as a Christian, she is excited to start celebrating Thanksgiving, Advent, Christmas and all the holy days leading to Epiphany in the Christian Tradition. It will be a little different because the rest of her family is not Christian but, as her friend, I will be there to support her and help her experience the richness of our traditions, liturgies and celebrations of Jesus, the Christ Child, and our Savior.
For me, Thanksgiving is all about thanking the Lord for who he is, what a great nation America is and for what he has done for me, my family and friends and all of his beloved children everywhere during the past year.
It is also a time of the year that my artistic side blooms. I love to celebrate the joy I have for nature’s vibrant colors and rich textures of the season by bringing them indoors. One of my favorite expressions is through creative “tablescapes” and making the feasting of the holiday meal exceptionally memorable for everyone. So, this is a tradition I have created in my home for my family and friends.
