Thanksgiving is one of my favorite days of the year. In fact, I think I like it better than Christmas. It’s a perfect combination of wonderful things. I have a ton of things to be thankful for and they all seem to come together on Thanksgiving. From my annual “night out” with my crew last night, to spending the day strapping on the ole’ feedbag with my entire family both in Frankfort and in Naperville - I get to spend lots of time with the people that matter most to me.

The other part of Thanksgiving that I like is the traditions. From the family, to the food, to the weekend cutting down of the Christmas Tree - it’s all fantastic fun. While all of those traditions were started without me and I’m simply a participant, there’s one tradition that I’ve started that makes me enjoy Thanksgiving morning. While most Americans are tuning into Matt Lauer and Al Roker to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, at my place we’re watching The Last Waltz - and watching it LOUD!


I’d tell you that you should be doing the same, but I’ve already done that in years past!
