The turkey (or ham, or ribs, or flaffel) has been eaten, the naps have been taken and the family has been visited. Thanksgiving has passed and we’re chugging on our way to Christmas as fast as possible.

Today, let’s take a few minutes to tell everyone what you were most thankful for yesterday. Does it change now that Thanksgiving is over? You let us know.

Me? I’m thankful for my job, my wonderful, smart, beautiful wife, and green bean bundles. And lots of other things. :)

(I just realized I had this written on Thursday when it was supposed to be published, but it never made it to the front page)

In keeping with our weekly tradition (it’s a tradition if it’s twice, right?) of talking about the holidays, the question for this week is on that same subject: Traditions. Answer if you dare. (not sure why I worded it that way, just sounded fun)

My family and I have traditions for different holidays. For Thanksgiving, we eat a meal together and then spend the evening decorating our house for Christmas. On Christmas, we always open one present the night before (usually the ones Allison tells us to open. hehe). I would like to start a new tradition where we help out at least one family enjoy Thanksgiving more by providing food and fellowship with them.

What traditions do you and your family have each year for the holidays? Do you like them? What traditions do you know others have that you would like to adopt?

Let us know. :)

Since we’re getting closer to Thanksgiving and Christmas, I thought it would be nice to let everyone tell some of their own story. Each week until the end of the year, I’ll be posting on Thursday a question that everyone can answer, something related to Holiday Goodness.

This week: What is your favorite thing about the holidays?

Speak up!

Most people say that teenagers don’t really care about politics or what’s going on in the “real world” (as if teenagers live in their own little world or something.) I disagree. I think teenagers are quite capable of making their own decisions and would rather do so instead of just being told what to do.

It is in that vein that I submit to you my choice for the next president of the United States:

Thoughts? Suggestions??  Anyone?? Is this thing on?

Hey there! Have a SYATP story you’d like to share? Tell us about what happened at your school!

Attention Teenage Girls: It’s cool to go to church now.

Now that Miley Cyrus has done it (with her underwear model boyfriend), everyone should!
