I am thankful..............:
For the wife who says it's hotdogs tonight for dinner, because, it means she is home with ME and not out with someone else.
For the husband who is on the sofa being a couch potato, because, he is home with ME and not in the pub.
For the teenager who is complaining about doing the dishes, because, he/she is home with ME and not on the streets.
For the clothes that fit a little too snug, because, it means I have enough to eat.
For the pile of ironing, because, it means I have clothes to wear.
For the windows that need cleaning, the grass that needs mowing and the guttering that needs fixing, because, it means I have a home.

That is so true, and pretty deep in a way. I like it. It shows how much everyone complains about so much of this stuff, or what we don't have etc., but we don't realize all the things we do have such as a roof, a computer, a family, etc.
Very nice and insightful, my family should really hear this.
Have a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Years!!!!

That is so sweet! I am thankful for....
~My way over-protective parents because that means they care and worry about me
~My cats
~My sister
~The food in my belly
~My wonderful home
~My friends
~My education
~Everything else in this world that helps us live a nice life.
We take things for granted often. Most people don't wake up and think "I am so grateful to be alive". They think "Ugh, school/work! I hate it!". If you weren't in school, you would have no future in life. If you didn't have a job, you would have no money in life. People complain about annoying, pesky realitives. If you had no relitives, you would be awfully lonely. They complain about money issues. What would you do if you had no money?? My mom always says, "There will always be people that have more than you, and people that have less.". That is a great moto to live by. Be thankful for what you have and don't envy those that have more.

I must say these are very beautiful sentiments and you must be a truly amazing and thoughtful person to have these thoughts. If only everyone thought like you the world would be a much better place. Such a change from the usual whining and whinging, thank you for restoring my faith in Human nature and making my Christmas. LOL.

Excellent!!! My thoughts exactly! There is so much to be thankful for. I'm thankful that my boyfriend snores because at least I know he is still alive.That was something I thought of as I was reading your poem. I am thankful for those things on a daily basis not just during the holiday season. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

I am thankful for all of our troops that are defending my country from evil all around the world. And are spending their Christmas away from their family and friends so that we may all enjoy our holidays in peace.
Merry Christmas to all and thank you

And I will add, for the building that stands on the street with the steeple on top that is my place to worship and fellowship.
Amen! Merry Christmas.
