I have always looked forward to two days of the year.  The first is Thanksgiving. Now, knowing what we have learned in the last decade or so in relation to Native Americans, there is a tainted feel about Thanksgiving, but, you cannot argue that Thanksgiving is a day where thanks is given for those you love, for what you have and for life itself.  It is not materialized like the other holidays, it is as pure a holiday as can be.  Thanksgiving has not been tainted by the material giant thankfully.  It is  a simple holiday where we give thanks, in any religion, race, creed or color.  Can we not do this for more things?  My other favorite day was the eve before Christmas.  What a special time.  I have always felt everyone was at their best on this day.  I was raised in a place that celebrated Christmas as a fantastic “end of year” celebration.  There was no politics, no hatred, no bad feelings, everything positive, a nice slide into the new year.  Remember, these feelings and memories are from when I was a kid.  Oh how I would love to feel those feelings again, without all the worry and uncertainty of today.  A lot can be learned from some past cinema.  How about we all decide to go into the new year like this…
