Some holiday humor from INDfamily - Happy Thanksgiving!
While you are gathered around the turkey today giving thanks, we want to lend our readers' thoughts on what they are really thankful for. Over the past month I have watched friends post daily thanks on their Facebook pages ranging from the usual suspects of family, food on the table and shelter to something as wacky as the baby bouncy seat that helps a new mom get in a quick shower when home alone.
INDfamily asked locals what they are thankful for - the honest truth beyond all the warm-fuzzy feelings is that we are thankful for our first world problems in the worst way. From the IND Media staff, we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and remind you to think local if you're headed out for Black Friday madness. May the spirit of giving be upon you during the holiday season.
We hope this post brings a smile to your face or a chuckle or two:
