DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 15

Happy Awesome November! Today folks we have 15 days remaining until Thanksgiving. Our next milestone will be in 5 days when we reach the Home Stretch Till Thanksgiving. Amazing as we move along in our Awesome Autumn further with another weekly poll!

When do you think you’ll get fully into the Thanksgiving spirit?

  • What do you mean? I’m already fully in it!
  • Next week (the week before Thanksgiving)!
  • The weekend before Thanksgiving
  • Not until Thanksgiving Week
  • Not until Thanksgiving DAY
  • I’m going with B. Of course, part of me is always in it (That’s why we have a thread 365 days a year here). But fully into it? Where I see it and start getting really excited? I think that happens next week for me usually. I feel like I’m right on schedule this year. What about you? Have a great day folks. Have an Awesome November!​
 
I think I'm going with "B" because I am still dealing with little fleeting bits of the "Halloween afterglow", and my evenings have been spent finishing up the Christmas lights outside. But I can feel Thanksgiving pulling at me, almost every day we have a conversation about things we want to eat, the football game, etc....

Have a great Wednesday!
 
It's a C for me. When I get off work the Friday before Thanksgiving, that's when it hits me. From that point, I normally have nine glorious days off in a row. I love taking that week off from work.
 
The evenings of Thanksgiving week will be filled with baking. Even when it's just us we "celebrate" as if there is a crowd. We do the decorations, the meals, the celebration for us. We share it all with others.
 
DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 14

Happy Double Digits November! Today folks we look up and see our countdown at 14 days remaining until Thanksgiving. What a great thing to see our countdown down to 2 weeks now. It’s unreal isn’t it? Our next milestone will be the Home Stretch Till Thanksgiving and it will be in 4 days. But we’re not worried about that yet. We’re worried about today. And today is Thursday. And you know that means our main event is today: Thanksgiving Thought Thursday!

I think what makes Thanksgiving so special is where it’s positioned on the calendar. Obviously, we talk about it being the “beginning” of the holiday season which is what makes it so awesome (and even has some of us choose it over Christmas as an individual day) but I mean that once Christmas ends really to get to a “big family food holiday” you pretty much have to wait till Thanksgiving. Maybe some of you consider Easter it but I always look at it like Thanksgiving/Christmas Eve/Christmas Day are the big family dinner days. Just my own thought. Curious to what you think about that.

I think Thanksgiving Thought Thursday is definitely going to stick into next year’s thread (which I have spent 0 time on so far because like I told you last year I am focused on the present). Keep it real as we move along through the latter stages now of our “Awesome Autumn.” Have a great Double Digits November!​
