~ ~ ~ Passing Through ~ ~ ~: Sunset on the Day after Thanksgiving!

Yesterday was Thanksgiving Day! We all had a good day at my sister Dalila's house in Wakefield, RI. Everyone enjoyed the great hospitality she and her husband always provide. It was indeed a good family day!
My Special Thanks to both of them. ♥

Thanksgiving as we all know, is a day to give thanks and remember how fortunate we are to be able to enjoy good things in life. It is also a day to remember the less fortunate and to reflect in our lives, and find out what we can do for others, that we have not done yet. It is a day to ask what we can help them with, and not what they can give to us. It is a holiday here in USA, it falls on the last Thursday of November. It is a "day off" for anyone who works in most industries, so everyone can enjoy family time, a good dinner, which consists of the famous turkey, relaxation and of course american football. It also represents the beginning of Christmastime, the Holiday Season, Singing of Christmas Carols, Sending Greetings to family and friends, and of course the Chaotic Shopping which starts with certain stores opening their doors late at night and remaining open all night on Thanksgiving Day, until Christmas Eve, on December 24th. It is a very busy time for the retailing industry. This includes restaurants, commercial shopping centers or malls, as we call them here. Every store is opened trying to boost the weak economy, with special sales and open door prizes. Crazy, crazy! Friday after Thanksgiving is called and is known as Black Friday! I think it means that at the end of the day, the stores' sales' revenues will help the monetary figures move from the red (deficit) to the black (profit). The reason they call it Black Friday. People actually look forward to shop all night looking for the best deals. Personally I have never done it! I am waiting to retire first, and then see what happens. I am always working on Black Friday. And when I am not, I use the day to start decorating the house for the season, the Jolly Season. This year I had to work. And look at what I encountered with, when I finished my working day, and opened the door to the outside of a great Black Friday evening! I saw this great Sunset! So red, it amazed me! I stared at it.... and I asked? Did I miss a good day? I know I did!!!

I don't want to work another Black Friday ever again I thought to myself! I'll do my best for that to happen in the future! I was locked in all day long! Yikes!!!
But then, I would never have seen this amazing sunset if I had not gone to work all day! It would have been a total different picture here, maybe me waiting in long lines at a store... or at home decorating in pajamas... Each experience is a unique experience!

Thanksgiving Day always has its own magic glow around family time. But when the day after ends with a multi color sunset, it definitely makes it even more special.

And here are some memories ...
from our Family Thanksgiving Day♥
Of course, I got yelled a few times, for being
The Annoying Paparazzi! Well, they are missing and not in the picture. So there... Happy Holiday Season! Enjoy! It goes by too fast.
Don't take any sunset for granted! Go shopping and look up in the sky to find amazing things.

I hope you all had a Great Thanksgiving Day with your Family as well.

I am sure you also have some great memories to share.
