Several years ago, a group of our friends who had family throughout the country, decided to celebrate the beginning of the holiday season with a night of fun and laughter together before the stresses of the season got ahold of us. We chose to come together the weekend before Thanksgiving, before we would part ways to be with our respective families, and enjoyed each other’s company with food and wine.
The photograph above was taken of me and my wife during the course of dinner, and it captures the night perfectly. I have this picture framed on my desk at home, with the simple word “Love” etched in the top of the frame. The word wonderfully expresses the meaning and essence of our Friend’s Thanksgiving. It began as a way to become better acquainted with a couple of friends, and morphed into a new holiday tradition that we hope our children will continue when they are adults. The holidays are not just about spending time with family, or offering gifts to show you care, but about having fun and creating moments you’ll remember the rest of your life. Photographs like the one above makes you realize the true meaning of love.
