Thanksgiving Flowers; Give Thanks with Flowers


What is Thanksgiving? If you look it up online, you'll find a variety of answers, which can be very confusing. I read all I could about this Holiday and I'm sure many of us have very fond memories of family and friends coming together during this time of year. Of course, you hear the horror stories of what can happen when you get family and friends together as well. But, I think that what it comes down to is this: What is Thanksgiving to you?




For me, it's a beautiful day of warmth and kindness that seems to be getting overlooked more & more with every passing year. Retailers put a lot into Halloween and then the day after Halloween, WHAM! There's Christmas!! Whoa...what happened to Thanksgiving?!




What's happening to a Holiday where you can gather with your friends and family and honestly give thanks?! Thanks that you have them in your life. Thanks that you've survived another year. Thanks that you have the life you have. Thanks that you have the things you have.




What a better way to say "Thanks" or show thanks, than with a beautiful bouquet of flowers?! Did you know that "the presence of flowers triggers happy emotions, heightens feelings of life satisfactions, and affects social behavior in a positive manner..."? (Study conducted by Rutgers)
