Thanksgiving: A time to reflect on what unites us

This Thursday is Thanksgiving Day.
Yes, the holiday season is upon us.
And yes, we wish you, dear reader, a happy and healthy Thanksgiving.
Hamtramck is a small town, but we are large in spirit. People care about each other, although we squabble here and there.
Thanksgiving, though, is a time to give thanks and be thankful.
It’s a day we can rest and count our blessings.
We like to think Hamtramck has a lot to be thankful about. Yes, this year has proven to be divisive both politically and culturally. And, yes, it looks like these divisions will only widen for the immediate future.
But despite our occasional setbacks, we are survivors here. And we are also quick to lend a helping hand to our neighbors.
That is community spirit. And, that is Hamtramck.
There is a true sense that we are all in this together here. And that means working together, and not working against one another.
So, on Thanksgiving Day, take time to reflect — and ask yourself: how can I help better our community?
On the business side of things, the holiday will mean government offices and banks will be closed.
The Review went to press early this week, and we hit the streets today, Wed. Nov. 22.
Stay safe everyone!
Oh yeah, and Go Lions!
