Thanksgiving (which I previously canceled, then un-canceled and have now re-canceled).

I know...It's hard to follow all the American holiday's I revoke, but please try to keep up.

In the spirit of the season (bah humbug), I thought I’d make a list of the things and people I’m especially thankful for this year. I'd be lying if I said this didn't feel like a Thanksgiving Day version of Stockholm Syndrome. Anyway.

• I’m thankful for THE FAM.
• My mom, who is so kind, gentle and loving. She teaches me how to be a lady.
• My dad, the man with the plan, who is always so supportive and lets me act like a little kid.
• Matthew, who despite his decidedly unattractive choice in facial hair is still the most fun, generous, doting big brother in the world.
• The prettiest girl in California, my sister Megan, who always surprises me with her grace and charm.
• Also, special shout-out for bringing Rob, Mak, Averie and baby Evan into the family. Good work.
• My Aunts and Uncles that send me love and cards. Whether it’s through Facebook, e-mail or good ‘ole snail mail – I love it all.
• My cousins – Who laugh at my jokes and make me more funny by association.
• For Michelle’s blog that makes me smile every day.
• For Annie and Chris' baby on the way.
• And for the one and only Noni and Papa – Enough said.
• I’m thankful to have the best friends a girl could wish for.
• Ashley for working day and night to make me the best New Yorker I can be.
• Aimee, Becky, Styna, Nicole, Sofia and Ang. You should go in the family section.
• The one person that can always calm me down: Tyler.
• And for my New York heart & souls: Bryn, Alli, Jax, Laurel, Cat, Brian, Cole, Melissa, Jason and Trevor. Oh, and everyone that was on the Golf Pub Crawl, holla!
• I’m thankful for New York City – For keeping me interested, enlightened and excited to live here.
• Thanks for housing all the people I’ve met along the way (I like some more than others).
• Central Park ponds, Sheep’s Meadow and over-sized balloons tied on kid’s wrists.
• My favorite lesser-known landmarks: The Manhattan Bridge and the Chrysler Building.
• The Staten Island Ferry and its $3 tall cans of beer.
• Thanks for the fireflies that were in Stuyvesant Park that one time.
• Mid-intersection benches in the UWS and sunny fall days.
• The East River Running Path.
• Artichoke Pizza and Mister Softee.
• And I’m going to regret this, but thanks for the Subway; its underground catacombs are fast and mostly tolerable.
• I’m thankful for my job.
• Access NY. How lucky am I to have a job in New York City, during a recession that I actually love? Pretty GD lucky.
• Access SF, for leaving the door open for me to come home whenever I want.
• I'm thankful for materialistic things too: shall we?
• My Marc Jacobs mouse flats. Thanks for the smiles.
• My lucky iPod. You're pretty in pink, and I love you for it.
• The new grey cashmere sweater that I'm wearing.
• The new Nike running shoes from a friend at Self Magazine.
• My It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia poster that looks like art.
• And my window AC. Hands down: Best purchase of 2009.

Clearly, I’m leaving more than a few people and things off here, but I love you and I’m quite thankful for you too.

Happy Thanksgiving! Smooches - jenna
