The Thanksgiving holiday has not yet been officially closed. Its just Sunday afternoon and families are still socializing and feasting on delicious food and conversation.
I'm not sure who determines when the holiday is officially over, but someone, somewhere will soon begin assembling statistics and plugging them into spreadsheets that will yield colorful charts giving us information on everything from highway deaths to the amount of turkey consumed.
Is there anyone calculating the really important stats related to the holiday? I'm wondering how many people felt the warm hospitality of local soup kitchens, churches and other helping agencies that offered a hot meal and a word of hope? Do you think I can find stats on the number of families that were reunited or whose age-old feuds were resolved during the past few days? Are there any numbers relating to those people who entered the holiday with no reason to be thankful but now have a grateful heart? Where are the numbers that inform us about the truely important happenings of a holiday called "Thanksgiving?"
Unfortunately, its difficult to keep such statistics. The folks who are the 'living stats' don't really have the time to chart such happenings because they're caught up in being thankful.
Hoping you had a great Thanksgiving.
