Give thanks this holiday. It can be easy to neglect the purpose of Thanksgiving while staring down a buffet of meats, stuffing, gravy, and desserts.

Furthermore, students and families use the weekend to get big deals on gifts for the holidays.

This year, try and focus on the purpose. Remember that the holidays are just a day.

Still eat and shop and be with family, however during dinner find time to thank those around you and while shopping buy a gift or two to donate so a family and need can feel just as thankful.

Do not take for granted what is available in life, and make sure to have a great break with a clean conscience.
