Gift Basket Gets the Attention
Over the Thanksgiving holiday, our family found itself in an odd
situation. My husband had recently been promoted within his
company, which resulted in our moving to a new city. We made the
move in mid-November, which made planning for Thanksgiving
virtually impossible. There was so much to do in regard to
closing on a new home, selling our old home, the move itself and
getting settled that we decided to have a simple Thanksgiving
instead of the feast we normally prepare. The day before
thanksgiving, with boxes still unpacked and the kids trying to
adjust to the new surroundings, we received a gift basket from
my husband's coworkers whom he had worked with for several
years.
The basket itself was huge, containing gourmet food products
from around the world. Both my husband and I were humbled and
thankful for this gesture as we marveled at how big the basket
was. Still, we placed it on top of the refrigerator and went
right back to work trying to get things in order. The next day,
for the first time ever, we found ourselves enjoying
Thanksgiving over a pizza. Needless to say, it was a little
depressing for everyone. After we ate, we sat at the table and
milled over what still needed to accomplished to get settled in.
We were all tired, and the feeling of family closeness that
usually accompanies Thanksgiving Day was replaced by a general
malaise.
My husband remembered the gift basket we had been sent and
brought it to the table. We opened it together and started
sampling all the wonderful fruits, meats, cheeses and desserts
it contained. Pretty soon, we were all talking and laughing
about Thanksgivings past and our hopes for the future. I think
we sat at the table together as a family longer than we ever had
previously. Having all this great food to try out seemed to live
everyone's spirits and remind us that we were still a family and
that even a complicated move couldn't stop us from enjoying the
holiday together. I am grateful for that gift basket, and for a
Thanksgiving I'll always cherish.
