The gift-buying frenzy kicks off this Friday, but there's a really important holiday that shouldn't be overlooked this week - Thanksgiving Day. On this day, we partake in our turkey (or ham) feasts, indulge in all of our favorite holiday foods followed by down-time with family and/or friends and reflect and give thanks for the past year.

It's easy to think of gifts as physical items that we give to another person, but it's important to note that some of the best gifts could be as simple as the gift of volunteering our time to help others less fortunate or the gift of lending an ear to someone who just needs to talk through a difficult situation. There will be plenty of time to focus on physical gifts over the next few weeks, so take a pause and instead focus on the intangible gifts of your time and attention to your friends and loved ones.
Happy Thanksgiving...and please pass the gravy!
