The More They Things Change, The More They Stay The Same…

I must admit, these days I am hoping Alphonse Karr’s famous quote, “The more things change, the more they are the same,” is in fact true. As we enter into the “Holiday Season”, those sweet memories of family Thanksgivings and Christmas throughout the years, are an anchor for the soul and truly priceless. We all have our own traditions… some commonly shared while others are unique to our tribe. One of my fondest Thanksgiving Day memories is of my middle sister Teena rounding up the troops for us all to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade together and of her husband correcting everyone when they called it the Macy’s Day Parade 🙂 Truth be told, we all began to do it more on purpose for the sake of amusement. This New York Post from November 24, 1948, gives all the feel of an old time Thanksgiving Day and solidifies the necessity of holding on to the deep heart things of the past. Feel free to share the traditions in your memory that bring that same family warmth in our comments section… after all some of the rest of us may be looking for a little something new to add to our holiday celebrations while still holding tightly to the precious anchors our families have created.
