As I spy the cut spruce trees stacked for sale outside this coffee shop, I ponder what they are, exactly. Holiday Trees, the sign says. I wonder how long before they come for Thanksgiving. After all, if we’re giving thanks, it must be to someone, or something, right? I suppose we could be thanking the Universe, or our dogs, and I’m sure there are those that insist these to be the proper recipients of our thanks. But we’re smarter than that, I think. Have a very happy Thanksgiving, and be sure to enjoy it before Thanksgiving is canceled.
