It’s finally here.
While most people look forward to Christmas, I’ve always been a big fan of Thanksgiving. There are many of reasons — the food is awesome, there is football to be played, there is time off and the beginning of long stretches of ‘holiday,’ interrupted intermittently by a few days of work here and there. Plus, “It’s Thanksgiving, Charlie Brown,” trumps all the other Peanuts holiday specials.
It’s very, very hard to believe that the holidays are amongst us. It seems like we just celebrated the Fourth of July and now, here we are, preparing to celebrate Thanksgiving and then of course, Christmas. So don’t blink because if you do, you may miss it all.
If you are having trouble getting in the Christmas spirit this year, there are several events planned in Nashville to maybe give you a little boost.
