Time of Thanksgiving

By Dione Thrift

It's November, which means that leaves are falling and changing colors rapidly. The temperatures are

dropping at a fast rate, and of course the days are ending earlier.  Even through the midst of walking through stores and other places seeing Christmas decorations everywhere, there is one thing to remember. That it is the time of Thanksgiving.    Thanksgiving seems to be a dying holiday as stores are using this day as a pre black friday event.   But are there some people who still value Thanksgiving? The answer to that is of course!

University of Montevallo Students thankful for their college education

 At the campus of the University of Montevallo, there are many people who have not forgotten the time of Thanksgiving. Many students and faculty have many things to be thankful for and have no problems sharing their gratitude of things that they are thankful for. 

Caitlin Schaefer thankful to be an American

Family and food, were the two most common things that people are thankful for, and along with that UM student, Caitlin Schaefer has a patriotic answer. "I'm thankful to be an American and having all the men and women who have fought for my freedom and everyone else's freedom, and they sacrifice their lives and family time on Thanksgiving also..." So in the age and time where Thanksgiving has been demoted to a early day time to eat good food, and then head to the shopping centers, it is nice to see that people still value the holiday.
