Thanksgiving 2020
Thanksgiving 2020. A year that has left us dazed and confused. A year that has left far too many struggling to make ends meet, to feed families and pets, to pay bills, to keep business afloat. Tragically, a year that means some of us will miss and mourn loved ones. Our hearts ache for those who are hurting. In lieu of gifts this holiday season, Paul and I are giving to amazing groups who do so much to help those in need. Thank God for the selfless people who put themselves out there, even in the face of a deadly pandemic. www.feedingamerica.org
Since it's my industry, I want to acknowledge a few wedding related things I'm thankful for. Thankfully my husband's brother went ahead and got married a few days ago, taking his vows behind a glass door, separated from his bride while he recovers from a milder case of covid. Thankfully my husband's nephew got married last month in a park and the few in attendance stayed healthy. Thankfully nobody got sick from the September minimony at our house. These three weddings were not what they were "supposed" to be, but you know what? Thankfully, they all were amazing in their own way!
Bentley can't decide if he likes the blue shoes or the ivory shoes better. The white silk clutch can be dyed to match either pair.
So, what comes to mind every Thanksgiving? Food of course. Turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, pumpkin pie and the rest of the feast. Let's all pitch in so there's enough to feed the long food lines forming around the country, if you can, to help our fellow Americans out. What else is synonymous with Thanksgiving? Black Friday. The day after Thanksgiving when stores normally start seeing a profit as holiday shopping kicks into full gear. Like 2020 weddings, holiday shopping won't be what it's "supposed" to be. Shopping online offered an alternative to visiting crowded shopping malls that holiday season.
The former business offered increasing discounts that holiday season. Those offers have ended; the sale photographs below are retained as part of this 2020 recollection.
My friend, Laura Jayne, was also having a sale of her gorgeous bridal accessories. www.laurajayne.com
Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving this year. Some will be alone. Some with only one other person. Or with pets. Maybe Zooming, maybe not. Whatever your circumstances, we're all in this together, so even if you're by yourself, just remember … you are not alone.
Bentley couldn't wait to get his paws on Laura Jayne's stuff.
