Thanksgiving is not quite over, but there are thousands already shopping in the pre-Black Friday hours. It is my hope that the day that preceded Black Friday was a happy and blessed one for you. For the first 50 years of my life, Thanksgiving meant gathering with my family and relatives at Uncle Albert and Aunt Myrtle’s house in Leesport, PA. This was for me, the tradition I enjoyed above all others. It became the Thanksgiving tradition for my children as well. Life is, of course, finite, and traditions are subject to the frailties of the humans who live them. Sadly, my Uncle Albert died on New Year’s Eve a few years ago. My sister and brother-in-law now host smaller Thanksgiving gatherings at their home in Cape May Court House, NJ. A new tradition is underway.
