I enjoy watching football, and I know it is a big game playing on Thanksgiving Day.  I know that is also part of the tradition, watching the big game, but can I tell you something.  Due to some circumstances happening, that in an of themselves are unfortunate, we won't be watching the game at all this year, and for that I am thankful.  It seems like the game too easily becomes the focus instead of our Father in Heaven who has given us many, many blessings.  I'm not saying watching football is wrong, or even watching the game on Thanksgiving is wrong, it's just that this year we won't have that distraction and we can focus on what we are thankful for.
