The end of the year can feel like a big rush from Halloween to Christmas with a blip of Thanksgiving in the middle. Stores are already full of Christmas (and have been since July). Those certain odd friends start blasting Christmas music the second the last trick or treater leaves their door.
And while research may show that being an early Christmas spirit person makes you happier, let’s not forget the Thanksgiving season and all the other research that says gratitude is good for us too.
So hold off on the tinsel just a bit longer and bust out the cornucopia! Let’s spend 30 days with some thankfulness Bible verses and make Thanksgiving more than just one day with turkey.
