Thanksgiving should be celebrated in the spring...I think…

“Thanksgiving should be celebrated in the spring...I think it would be ever so much better than having it in November when everything is dead or asleep. Then you have to remember to be thankful; but in May one simply can't help being thankful...that they are alive, if for nothing else.” quote by L.M. Montgomery
