Hello, dear family and friends.
As the autumn leaves crunch underfoot and the air carries that crisp promise of winter, we find ourselves once again at the threshold of Thanksgiving. On this November 24, 2025—just a few days before we gather around tables laden with harvest’s bounty—it’s time to pause, reflect, and give thanks for the simple joys that weave through our lives.
Thanksgiving, that timeless American tradition rooted in gratitude and community, reminds us to cherish what we have amid the hustle of modern life. Whether you’re prepping the turkey, perfecting your pumpkin pie recipe passed down through generations, or simply enjoying a quiet moment with a warm cup of cider, this holiday invites us all to count our blessings.
This year, I’m particularly grateful for:
- Family and Friends: The laughter echoing through homes, the stories shared over seconds (and thirds) of mashed potatoes, and the unbreakable bonds that hold us together, even when miles apart.
- The Beauty of Nature: The vibrant hues of fall foliage, the first frost on the windows, and the way the world slows down just enough to let us breathe deeply.
- Health and Home: In a world that’s ever-changing, the comfort of a safe haven and the strength to face each day with hope.
- Small Acts of Kindness: From a neighbor’s wave to a stranger’s smile, these moments remind us of our shared humanity.
- The Feast Itself: Let’s not forget the star of the show—the golden turkey, savory stuffing, cranberry sauce with just the right tang, and pies that make the heart (and stomach) sing.
As we approach Thanksgiving Day on Thursday, November 27th, may your gatherings be filled with warmth, your conversations lively yet harmonious, and your plates overflowing with deliciousness. Remember, it’s not about perfection; it’s about presence. If the rolls burn or the gravy lumps, laugh it off—those are the stories we’ll tell for years to come.
From our corner of the world to yours, we wish you a truly happy Thanksgiving. Let’s carry this spirit of gratitude forward, not just today, but every day.
With heartfelt thanks,
Margarita & Stace
