Gratitude is too important in our lives to be considered only briefly on the fourth Thursday of November. Yuganov Konstantin/Shutterstock

Thanksgiving is all about food, family, friends, and festivity.

Wherever people gather—Grandma’s farmhouse in Iowa, a condo in Jacksonville, or a small apartment in Atlanta—ideally, there’s the mouthwatering scent of cooking food, a lot of talk and laughter, and televisions featuring parades and football games. The kids kick a soccer ball around the front yard, tussle on the living room carpet, or play card games with Uncle John at the dining room table.
