Does Thanksgiving Have to be Today?

In today's world of 50% of Marriages ending in divorce the question comes to my mind is this: Does Thanksgiving have to be today?

When I was growing up in Miami my parents celebrated Thanksgiving every year with our entire family and friends. This would mean my Mother would cook for 35-50 people every year. Looking back I have to say these are some of the best memories for me. Now many years later I am a Father and I am one of the divorce statics and have to split our holidays back and forth with my son's mother. Sadly my sister is as well in the same boat with her family.

This year was not my sisters time to have her children for Thanksgiving but it was my turn. (how sad is this) We decided that since we could not all be together on Thanksgiving (Thursday) why can't we just move the day back one to Wednesday. After all isn't Thanksgiving a day to be with your family? So really what is in a day?

So beginning this year I think we may have started a new tradition in having our Thanksgiving on Wednesday night.

Last night was a wonderful night with the Grandparents , Aunts, Uncles and of course the what makes Thanksgiving so special our the Children.

I wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving.
