I have to work whenever the stock market is open. As such, I don't get many of the holidays that many of my friends get. But for the holidays I do get off, most of the time all I want to do is lay in bed and catch up on sleep. Since Thanksgiving is coming up, I thought it'd be a good idea to focus on that holiday. Aside from the fact that there is no such day in Jamaica and I have to work the next day, I think one should give thanks every day. In addition, for Native Americans, that holiday represents something completely different.
The Idea: Use the holidays you don't celebrate or disagree with to help those less fortunate. For Thanksgiving Day, why not volunteer in your community? Or help educate others about Native American history?
The Cost: Just a little of your time
The Benefit: You will feel more accomplished on that day, and instead of filling yourself with food (and probably regretting it later), you can fill yourself with pride. :)
