My favorite holiday of the year is fast approaching! That's right, I love Thanksgiving, but for more reasons than just the food.

I'm so thankful that I get to spend time with my family, that's the most precious gift of all. I'm blessed with a big, blended family. I think it's awesome that my husband and I are lucky enough to get to spend Thanksgiving with our daughter and two big family meals!

We always have a big lunch with my family, including my parents, siblings, nieces, cousins and aunts and uncles. Then we attend a second meal with my husband's big family (he is one of 4 children), so there are always plenty of people around. It's great because we don't get together as often as we would like to.

The thing I love most about Thanksgiving? That you don't feel obligated to spend lots of money on lavish gifts. The holiday is truly about being grateful for what you have, and for me, that include my family... The food is just an awesome perk!
