    Hello Regina, we should definitely be grateful for those who work doing holidays to help our convenience, especially when they have young children at home. I hope they have a spouse or partner to help doing this time. I have found by cooking two days earlier and freezing your dish or having everyone to bring a favourite food. Now, when it comes to co workers and pot luck, you just bring something that you can fill up on or fine those trusty workers that you know pretty well 😂😂🥰 I worked corporate for over 20 years and it’s hard dancing around their favourite dish that they fill is amazing but you didn’t try the food. Sometimes you gotta get small portions and hide it under the napkins 😂😂😂😂 thank you with much love ❤️

    I'm so Thankful To Have You As A Friend! Happy Thanksgiving. So many people struggle during the holidays whether it's financially, loss, ...people have enough going on in their personal life then to deal with work stuff to. Not everyone is festive and happy. It may also be the only place too where people get a connection to people or just to get away.
    We just get thru it in whatever way works best for us.

    Hi lady I love your videos.
    As a rule I always spend Thanksgiving alone with my dogs 😂
    It’s my favorite holiday so I keep it to myself. I cook and reflect on the things to be thankful for.
    I love watching the football game and the homey feeling of food cooking. I say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone the day before so my phone is not disturbing my me time 😂

    For so many years on holidays and a lot of weekends, I have been the only person on my street cranking my car up going to my job. I am so thankful to have an income. I'm able to get myself dressed and ready to go. I have a choice of two vehicles I can drive to work. Only about four or five years ago, I was riding my bike, walking, and catching public transportation to work from where I lived in public housing. Now I have a nice cozy home that's nice. Sometimes, I walk around my house, thanking God and my late mother for the house I have now. She blessed me with a little som' som' after she died, which allowed me to close on this home. It's nice. I like it. I have so many blessings to count. Now, here comes the but. I am very tired of working every single holiday as far back as I can remember. I have gotten the weekends out of the way. I don't work those anymore. Thank God! God answers prayers, especially if I do my part. My goal is to not have to work holidays again. Ever! Security officers have to work every holiday. I'm working on changing that for me. I want out of working security detail. Oh, and I like to meditate, pray, and sit in silence right before I go out the door for work. I like to sit for at least fifteen minutes to do that. It's the best!!

    oh yes, I worked many a thanksgiving and many a black fridays back in the day. boundaries are so vital. I am glad you are taking care of yourself to be able to rest. Luckily the holiday parties I attended in the past were actually fun. I have been lucky in the day, to have great coworkers. I am thankful I have not had to work on holidays for many years now. Great suggestions for helping lifting your spirits. I agree I listen to xmas music year round.

    Never have had to work during the holidays thank Goodness but I was let down at my job this year. Instead of a sit-down thanksgiving get together, they called it an all-day Graze Day for people to bring foods to graze on all day long. Nawwww - I did not participate 😠 we have reduced a day of giving thanks to a day of grazing like cows 🐮
