"Alexa, make Thanksgiving dinner!" It's that month to count your blessings not the calories. It's a month that reminds us to be thankful for the blessings and learning lessons. I have to admit when I was a kid, November wasn't my favorite month. It was always a drag and I felt myself wanting to skip immediately to December....and open Christmas gifts (duh!)
