As the tradition goes, when autumn is in full swing we set aside a holiday so we can stop, even if it's just for a brief moment, and remember all that we are grateful for, and give thanks for these blessings. While many might find the crash commercialism that takes place only hours after this remembrance the polar opposite of being grateful, we'll focus on the moments before and explore some of the aspects of giving thanks, even if it's not in the most positive light.
