Winter weddings are unlike any other celebration.

Thanksgiving is the unique time of the year when we share a bit of ourselves, and abundance, with our community and the people we love. Few holidays make it socially acceptable to eat as much as physically possible, and we often associate major celebrations with taking time off work. However, spending time with people we care about, practicing family traditions, making special recipes and teaching them to our children, as well as opening our homes to those who are less fortunate, can bring an overflow of joy to our lives.
