Thanksgiving is upon us! If you’re in town for the holidays and looking for a little more celebration than football and turkey, here are some weekend events to help you salute the season.
“Students can donate their swipes all year long, it is not limited to the season of Thanksgiving,” Whitmore said. “Events like these are a big reminder how much of a social aspect eating and sharing a meal with other is, which is why we use All-University Thanksgiving as a big push for students to share what they have with those less fortunate in their community.”
Even if your thankfulness is a choice this Thanksgiving, we encourage you to find something that has been a blessing in your life this year and to focus your gratitude toward that gift. We here at the Ed Board decided to do the same.
So, without further ado, here are the things we are especially thankful for this year.
A Season of Thanksgiving is Baylor’s university-wide campaign that encourages the Baylor community to take time to express gratitude for the people and blessings in their lives. One of the activities on campus that is encouraging a reflection of gratefulness is writing notes of appreciation.

“I love coming to the international student Thanksgiving dinner and celebration,” Livingstone said. “It’s great to celebrate the culture of our students from around the world and then to help them understand a very American tradition of Thanksgiving.”
The narrative of the play follows a teacher and aspiring director in charge of her own Thanksgiving play working with a local street actor who she has an intimate relationship with, a cliché Los Angeles actress and a geeky history teacher with dreams to be a playwright.
“We will be looking for more ways to enhance affordability, and growing our endowment is one of the best ways to do that, so [Student] Foundation scholarships are certainly critical,” Livingstone said. “The Student Foundation has done a tremendous amount of work to raise funds for student scholarships… They are wonderful ambassadors for our campus.”
Living in gratitude and out of complaint is worth the effort. In this life, we will experience great joys, milestones, trials and hardships. Beginning to practice and implement a posture of gratitude will change our hearts and our lives.
While you were going back for “just one more roll,” here’s everything you may have missed from Thanksgiving break.
While the much-anticipated Thanksgiving break approaches, many Baylor sports are still in full swing.

Thanksgiving break is almost here, which means Friendsgiving is even closer. With a limited college budget and little time, meal options are minimal. The Arts and Life Desk is here to share what we would bring to Friendsgiving that is both delicious and affordable.

Every year, the Baylor Student Foundation joins forces with student government and Baylor Dining to put on All-University Thanksgiving, providing the Baylor community with an opportunity to gather together for an early Thanksgiving dinner.

When most people think of food on the Thanksgiving table, their mind goes straight to the turkey, but let’s not forget about the various types of casseroles, stuffing and potatoes. Whether the sides are made from a recipe on the back of a can or from ones passed down in the family, the food is always amazing.
At this point in the year, the combination of academics, work, internships and other school-oriented responsibilities can leave students swamped, and the light at the end of the tunnel can seem to grow frustratingly dim. Seasonal affective disorder is also coming into full swing, and it hits some people harder than others. While seasonal depression often requires more in-depth treatment, giving yourself plans to anticipate can certainly serve as a way to cope with the winter blues.
The holiday season has officially started, and everyone is excited for their favorite upcoming holidays. However, there are different perceptions of when to start celebrating Christmas. I believe the time to start celebrating and putting up decorations is after Thanksgiving dinner.

To me, one of the best sides on Earth is a slice of bread. Not just any bread, but a crispy slice of Italian restaurant bread dipped in olive oil and balsamic glaze. It’s the perfect compliment to most dishes, but especially a good, comforting pasta.
Thanksgiving football games are more enjoyable than Christmas basketball games.
A thankful heart doesn’t need to make a huge gesture to have an impact on someone’s life or your own. Next time you stop to be thankful, hopefully it isn’t simply because someone asked what you’re thankful for.
It’s Christmas music season — and, sorry haters, but rocking around the Christmas tree starts on Nov. 1. Once the spooky season is over, it’s time to deck the halls, and the most wonderful time of the year wouldn’t be complete without the holiday tunes we all love.
For some, Thanksgiving means turkey and stretch pants, but for others, it means despair and hunger.
Dave’s Burger Barn, located on 600 N Patricia St. is working to help those families. “We will be opening the restaurant doors to anyone in need who would like a free traditional Thanksgiving meal,” Tim Quiroz, owner and operator of Dave’s Burger Barn, said. “Food will be offered from 11 to 2 p.m.”
Holiday all-nighters should be about burning the midnight oil with family, playing games, drinking hot chocolate and eating leftovers. It should not be about standing in line, fighting the cold and racing for the last big-screen TV.

As Thanksgiving season ends abruptly like it does every year, we are all reminded of the harsh consumerism that inevitably surrounds the Christmas season. But Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, right?
Wrong.
Thanksgiving is the best time of the year. The meaning of Thanksgiving has not changed. Being thankful is in the forefront of people’s minds as they joyfully join their family for a feast. Every American can celebrate because we all have things we’re thankful for.
For Christians, Christmas is supposed to be about remembering and celebrating the birth of Christ. Unfortunately, Christmas is now about spending money. The meaning has been bastardized, and few think about the birth of Christ as they marvel at their new video games.
