Thanksgiving 吀栀e Best Holiday of the Year 吀栀is is a holiday about gratitude, about family and about possibility. It brings people together to not only celebrate the end of the harvest, but to look one in another in the eye and share something magical. I’m hoping that this year, you and your family will help us start a new holiday tradition. 吀栀e idea is simple: At your 吀栀anksgiving celebration (and yes, it’s okay to use it outside the US), consider going around the table and having each person read a section aloud. Before the meal starts, all you need to do is put one page on each person’s chair and follow the simple steps. During the ten or 昀椀昀琀een minutes your family spends reading together, millions of people will all be reading the same words, thinking about the same issues, connecting with each other over the essence of what we celebrate. A昀琀er all the travel and the cooking and the hassle, for these few minutes, perhaps we can all breathe the same air and think hard about what we’re thankful for. 吀栀ank you for being part of this, something bigger than each of us. 吀栀e 吀栀anksgiving Reader was created by Seth Godin.
