Although gratitude should not be contained to Thanksgiving alone, it's a holiday that reminds us to be thankful for what we have.

So you tell us: What are you thankful for this holiday season?

Your family? Your friends? The community you live in? Share your story of gratitude with our readers. Patch will then compile the comments into a gratitude slideshow.

Submit your stories in the comments, via our Facebook page or by sending an email to karina@patch.com

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

My faith! My husband! We have tackled so much together and come out stronger after each hurdle. My children! My baby that's on the way! The roof over my head, food on the table, clothes on my body and the ability to provide these things for my family. My friends, family and support system.

We are grateful for living in the United States. Even with all our problems, I'm proud to be an American and that the best man won the presidential election. No, he's not perfect, but consider the alternate. THAT would have been terrible.

FREE Family Fun in the Theatre District
Bookworm June 7, 2013 at 08:46 am
I think that showing The Hunger Games in this venue is a mistake. These outdoor family film showings…Read More do attract families, and frequently families with younger children. It would be close to child abuse to permit a younger child to watch this movie. Not so sure it would be a good idea for teens either. I believe that this choice was not well thought out. I hope it can be changed to something that would be beneficial for all ages to see. For example, I recommend a film called "Like Stars on Earth" directed by Aamir Khan. A very moving and thoughtful film.
