Thanksgiving the Magic of Kindness upon us REALLY?

Why do we Feel compelled to be nice, sympathetic, loving and even polite these days As a consumer added to my many years working for corp. America at different capacities I find rather hypocritical to see the overwhelmed greetings, wishes and the proverbial "have a Wonderful Thanksgiving" "watch out the calories" While I truly appreciate the thought I know in MOST cases is not natural and sincere, people say it because, we are conditioned to say it around this Holiday because it's "trendy" REALLY? Do we even know the true meaning of Thanksgiving and why we celebrate it every year in a rampage for the fastest and shortest way to the Feast table? Last weekend I went to the nearest Mall and asked several people of all ages what was the meaning of Thanksgiving for them and in MOST cases the answer was because, "there is a lot of food", because, "we get to eat Turkey fixed by Grand-Ma" because, "is a 4 day Holiday", except for a handful of people that had better idea of the real meaning of this Celebration. Putting that aside, I think most of you that give the kindness to read this note got the idea. Thanksgiving = Give Thanks, be grateful which brings me to my open point, look around you, people look more cheerful, kind, friendly, even polite oh! Really? Where do we keep all that the other 51 weeks of the years? Nasty, rude, inefficient, self entitle, lazy, forgetful etc. Why through the year we don't feel compelled to call family and friends to say hello, to see if they need any help and I help & help them, how about, volunteer at a Nursing Home or serve meals in a Shelter, how about say a sincere Thank You because, you bought my merchandise, how about say Thank You when you received excellent merchandise, great customer service at a fair prices, how about do something for someone without expecting a thing in return and be happy and cheerful about it. How about “sharing yourself” Why is it that saying Thank you the rest of the year is like pulling teeth off our mouth, so, please, don't tell me "I TEXT my Mom every week" and that's the problem we all got so much comfortable texting tweeting, or what a heck! Just keep up with the whole world posting your life in Facebook but sharing yourself with the very people that love you unconditionally hey! That's why we got Thanksgiving Day! Happy Thanksgiving to all! Now I better Text Mom put 2 extra plates my girlfriend and her sister coming along. FastTech - thousands of iPhone/iPad/iPod gadgets at great prices.
