The holiday season is here, with our thoughts turning to celebrations with family and friends. Festive decorations adorn our homes, neighborhoods and communities. As festivities begin, holiday lights beam a radiant message of celebration and good cheer.

The season begins with Thanksgiving, a time of giving thanks for all we have. Our families gather at the table filled with a feast fit for a King and toast our good fortune. We remember our ancestors who sat at our table and relish the young ones learning about family traditions. The little ones sometimes need a little help with the mashed potatoes and manage to get more on their face than in their stomach, but their smile tells it all. They enjoy eating with their family.
