To me, the best aspect of the holiday season is that it heightens our awareness of the love we have for one another. The fact that Thanksgiving is so often cited as people's favorite tradition is certainly meaningful; after all it is the explicit celebration of connectivity and abundance. Thanksgiving is all about expressing our gratitude for Life and for the world we live in, therefore the occasion represent the perfect opportunity to make some conscious changes towards creating healthier relationships within the environment we live in.
Perhaps Thanksgiving is the only time of the year when you actually say grace before your meal. Perhaps it is one of the few occasions when you consciously take a moment to reflect on where your food comes from.
Giving thanks for our food, and for each other, should be a daily practice. The more we become aware of our interconnectivity, the easier and more natural it will be to act in ways that are healthier for the whole, because we will actually go about our daily lives with the understanding that we all depend on the Earth and on each other.
For those wanting to make a little extra gesture during this holiday season, why not do something for the environment? Why not, perhaps... plant a tree? The visionary company Treenex offers eco-friendly holiday cards (as well as greeting cards for all occasions, corporate promos, etc) that will put your regular hallmark card to shame. With Treenex, "each card plants a tree in a forest." Prices range from 4.50$ for a single card, to a very competitive 22$ for a set of 6. What's more, each card comes with a code that people can enter online in order to watch their tree grow!
During this season of love and gratitude, why not consider taking a small action by giving back to the Earth, while at the same time helping to raise the ecological awareness of those you care about?
