Maybe it's my own personal thing, but I prefer Thanksgiving over Christmas for a few reasons:
- It's so neglected when the holidays come around. People only give it attention because it's the day before Black Friday shopping... haha how shallow.
- Sometimes, we have to stop and give thanks before anything else, we have to thank those who made us who we are, good and bad, and who brought us here.
- Thanksgiving is a lot more calm than Christmas... Christmas is just so hectic sometimes... Thanksgiving is more serene so I can take things more seriously.
But speaking of giving thanks, there are a few people especially I need to thank. Thank you mom and dad and sisters, no one is more amusing than you all. Thank you Auntie Julie for picking me up on Fridays and taking me out to eat. Thank you Kathy Luu for checking up on me ever so often. Thank you Haylie Chu for making the effort even though sometimes its not reciprocated. Thank you Judy Nguyen for telling me when you're bored and actually pushing me to make plans to go out other than staying at home. Thank you Binnie Truong for your honesty and your realization that things aren't the same anymore... and that's okay. Thank you Kevin Nguyen for being my everything. Thank you Ciarra Academia for trusting me to tell me all your troubles. Thank you Tony Vu for asking me for prayer intentions constantly. Thank you LLT for always asking me if I need help with closing prayer. Above all, thank you God for... endless things a blog cannot contain.
