Love this time of year because it’s a time where my family all gets together and catch up and it’s a chaotic calm that comes with a huge family, and it’s even more important these last few years since one of my cousins was killed by a drunk driver, we get to see his daughter and tell stories that she wouldn’t get to hear otherwise. And just soak up each other’s energy and presence.

My favorite time of the year. I have a lot to be thankful for, too. A healthy family, three amazing girls, a roof over my head, and heat! Although I can't stand the cold, I love to be in the house around Christmas to watch it snowing outside. All the Christmas lights bring back beautiful memories of driving around the countryside with my parents trying to find the best decorated house. When the tree is up, the first thing that has to happen after being decorated is to lay under it and look up to be amazed by all the beautiful decorations and lights. I adore Christmas. The stories, the people, the gifts, and of course the food!

To be honest, I am still learning to love this time of year.. my ex-husband never made it enjoyable so for the longest time I absolutely hated holidays!

I am thankful for my amazing husband who makes every day worth trying.. our anniversary is the 23...
I'm thankful for my daughters who always tell me I'm the best mommy in the world even when I feel like I'm the absolute worse...

I love this time of year because everyone is extra thankful and cheerful. I love fall decor and Christmas decor. Though cold isn’t my favorite, snow makes it worth it because it’s fun to play in and so pretty when it’s fresh. I’m thankful for my baby boy and new puppy we added to the family this year, as well as good health, my family and their health, my husband and all of our critters.

I love having two back-to-back family holidays. My closest family member is still over 6 hours away and I miss being able to run home for Sunday dinner or just casually meet for lunch or something. Having the excuse to see lots of family twice in two months is good for me. I'm extremely lucky that my company has a satellite office near my parents' house, so I'm able to go down for the whole week of Thanksgiving without using any vacation time.

I actually struggle with this time of year. I live in the great lakes region of the USA. Born and raised, but never got used to the cold. Or the dark. I am thankful though. For my son who can see the brightness in anything. He's just too sweet.

This is my favorite time of the year! I enjoy the crisp, cool weather we get here in the Carolinas, the smell of bonfires, and the opportunity to hygge to my heart's content. This year I am even enjoying the early darkness because it means that my little ones easily go to bed earlier and I can have a little more quiet time with my husband in the evening.
I am thankful for so many many things, but two big ones this fall are that my family has continued good health and that we get to have my husband home for the holidays (he is in the military) this year.

I love this time of year because the weather is getting cooler which means sweaters and blankets and soups and teas!
I’m so thankful for my friends and family and being able to spend the holidays with them

I usually hate the holidays, for the last few years I have, because our family has been so broken to even enjoy it. This year I’m thankful to have my own son to focus on and make it the best Christmas for him, from here and every year on.

I love Lost Souls so much but sadly I only have the license for the Skulls and Axiom Blue! I would really like some eggs from the mares though!

I love this time of year(not the cold) and I can't wait for Christmas time too because after that is my birthday! I absolutely love hot chocolate and all our family comes together and bakes cookies and make gingerbread cake! It's a great time for color and lights and singing songs! I am very thankful for my family and the time we spend together since we live so far apart anymore.

I haven't thought much of Christmas yet this year, but I am thankful for all the firefighters, volunteers and emergency services working 24/7 to fight the many many fires currently ravaging NSW and southern Qld. So far there are only a few fires on my watchlist area, but with catastrophic weather conditions we know that could change in a matter of hours. And many of the fires they say have been deliberately lit, which is just unbelievable that a single person is responsible for the loss of so much. I will be trying to donate or send help to those affected by the fires, as some have lost everything just before christmas time.

Taliesin - 238452 - Lost Souls!

I think I already told you how much I want straws from this boy, lol! He's delightful!
This time of year has mixed feelings for me too, between the cold and lack of sun and the effect that has on my brain and joints, and the insane workload that is retail jobs (both me and The Spouse work retail). But that translates into bigger paychecks, which means I can do gifts, and I may not be able to go anywhere over Thanksgiving or Christmas but I do get to go see my family every year in January. And then there's the food, and the baking, and the cider, and the decorations, and the holiday magic!
I'm thankful for a lot of things, but I think the top two would be my family (born and chosen) and my dogs!

I love this time of year, the weather is warming up, grass is everywhere from the spring growth so the horses are fat and shiney. The foals have been born so I get to hang out with all their fuzzy whiskers and watch their playful antics. Coming in to summer also means friends and family, I love lazy summer afternoons having a few drinks with friends. I get to catch up with family over the summer/christmas holidays and I do love my siblings so spending time with them and their families is probably the best thing about this time of year. I don't get much of a chance the rest of the year. So yes this time of year is very special. The Christmas parties and breakups means lots of fun and frivolity too!!

I LOVE this time of year...but I didn't use to. I used to suffer from depression all year round but the worst of it happened during the holiday seasons which made it hard to enjoy family, cold weather, and good food. All throughout high school, I struggled through the loneliness I felt and then heaviness on my spirit. But the last two years I've been around some seriously uplifting people, I've tried so super hard to put myself in a great mindset and with the help of my closest friends and family I've overcome my depression. And while I do still struggle from anxiety it's so much better now! I get to enjoy the holidays and I learned that I LOVE Christmas shopping and Black Friday shopping. Every year my family makes a huge thanksgiving meal and for Christmas, we eat breakfast then have a cup of coffee and open presents while we listen to Christmas music. I'm so thankful for the community here on HaJ too!

I love this time of year...the changing colors of the leaves fill my heart with joy. Christmas is hard as many people in the family have passed on at this time of year, but I do love the bright lights and sparkly decorations. My kids are the biggest joy of my life. They are growing into marvelous human beings who deal with their own health issues every day. Thanksgiving is our favorite holiday because who doesn't like good food? I'm so happy I found this community...everyone here is so kind, generous, and helpful. This game has helped me a lot over the past month (I'm really new), and I think I'm finally getting the hang of some things here. You're all wonderful!

Vella · Nov 16, 2019 7:21 AM

Lost Souls is gorgeous, and this is a fun post to read through!

Vella - 252818 - basic upgrade
The best part of this time of year is that, at work, we enter a "freeze period" where we can't touch anything in production (which means we really can't do much work at all), so we get off early at least half the days from the week of Thanksgiving through the end of the year. (I also have eight extra days off in December since I didn't have time to take vacation earlier, so it's going to be extra chill!) So I'll have lots of extra time home with my 3yo & husband (& kitties), which I really appreciate.
I am thankful... for so many things. My family, first - they make every day an adventure. My relative health - I'm not as young as I used to be, but everything still mostly functions. Having a salary, non-customer-facing, relatively interesting job is fantastic after almost 15 years of customer-service... (I salute you, retail workers. I remember how the holidays were! Good luck!)

I am really excited for this Thanksgiving because my Mom and Dad are going to surprise my brothers(ages 16 and 15) with the court document that says they don't have to live with their mother. :)
My brothers are from my Dad's previous marriage, and we've been fighting in court for this for years.

I always have mixed feelings about the holidays because usually I’m on deployment for them or stuck dealing with family drama. This year I’m cautiously optimistic though as I will be spending them with my wife for the first time (still can’t believe somebody was actually crazy enough to marry me :) ) I’m learning to be thankful for all of the craziness I’ve been through in the last few years as I would not be nearly the person I am today because of it. I’m even grateful for the navy lol because they’ve always given me a “family” even when my own family didn’t really seem to be a thing. Also, I’m thankful for this community :) y’all are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met online and everyone is always willing to help out or lend an ear. Happy holidays everybody! And @Jessj as always all of your horses are gorgeous!

This is about the only time of year when me and my siblings (4) can all get together and be in the same house at the same time. We rotate from year to year who cooks, who's house were at, and who keeps the littles entertained until it's time to eat.
Thankful that I have a big crazy family, that I had 15yrs with my Bexar and my son loved him, and that I still have my horses.

This time of year has actually been really tough for me. Out of nowhere my 5 year old German Shepherd started showing symptoms and within three weeks of first symptom, she passed away from a very aggressive cancer. I've been struggling a lot since that happened nearly 3 weeks ago.

Usually this time of year I love the cooler weather and being able to enjoy riding without being drenched in sweat and flies (yay Alabama). I love paying it forward and the general kindness of everyone this time of year.. and of course the decorations!

I usually love this time of year. It's just me and my son (divorce from a narcissist was finalized this time last year), so we get time to play, watch movies, and hangout looking at the stars (he's 3 and obsessed with them, lol). We try to have a big family dinner but it's not going to happen this year. Both my brother and I's jobs are forcing "regular hour work days" or denied time off. Atleast my son will get to be with his grandparents and his cousin. So just thankful i have a pretty awesome family.

Not a big fan or the S or I words that come with the W word lol, but I do love the crystal clear skies, the crisp air, and how everything including the stars seem to have an extra sparkle to them. People seem to remember themselves and others and are better to each other.
I've had a lot thrown at me in the last 6 mos and I forsee more coming, but hopefully it will be good changes. So right now, I'm thankful for a job, a roof, a running truck, heat/power, food, the basic stuff.

Great idea for a giveaway!

Don't like cold weather in general (like a lot of people on here it seems :) ), but since I live in the South it is a nice change of pace from 90 degree Septembers!

My grandfather owns a Christmas tree farm, so from Thanksgiving to Christmas Eve I spend a lot of the weekend time helping out. I don't mind, though- it's usually pretty outside, the trees smell wonderful, and my grandmother always cooks ;)

Now I have 7 nephews and nieces total - two more on the way- and kids make Christmas so special. So I guess I'm grateful for those little stinkers who make everyone get along and have fun. Exhausting, sticky, noisy fun, but still. :))

My favorite thing about this time of the year is when it snows how pretty all of the bright white, the birds coming to the feeders, and watching the horses play in the snow <3. I don't like how cold it gets but the beauty more than makes up for it. Ice fishing is fun, playing in the snow, building snow horses in the field and watching the horses freak out over them...lol

I love this time of year because of the colors. Love the weather too. It's so cool to look out the window and see all the snow on the mountains. I'm so thank you for everything, 8 years ago I lost someone very close to me it made me realize never take anything for granted. So I now always look for the good in everything. I also love all the lights.

My favorite thing about this time of year is just how *magical* it feels! I know not everyone shares this feeling about the holidays but for me there's just something extra special about all of the decorations, the music everywhere, and getting excited to see family and friends who we don't see all the time maybe. I'm the type of person who likes to romanticize, so a whole month or two of every year that feels unique and themed and special really makes me happy!

I am thankful for so much this year. The main thing is I'm thankful that I get to do what I love, with the support and help of my loving partner and my wonderful family. If it weren't for the special people in my life I wouldn't be in this very unique position that I'm in this year, and I'm so thankful for it.

What I love about this time of year is getting together with all of my family. Its one of the few times everyone is home together. With cousins in different states and the military, its the one time we all get together under one roof like when we were little, and that is a blessing.
Also the food the ham, turkey, stuffing and all the homemade pies. Bonus I get my family and husbands family's partys so it's a double dip on thanksgiving and Christmas. :))
