November had always been a quiet month, nestled between the bright energy of October and the cold chill of December. But this year, something felt different. As the days grew shorter and the air crisped, November decided it would host a celebration of its own—Thanksgiving.

It wasn’t just about the harvest or the feasts; it was about the simple things. The golden leaves that danced in the wind, the smell of wood smoke curling from chimneys, and the soft, fading light of autumn. November invited its closest friends—October, who brought the pumpkins, and December, who promised snow—but the true guests of honor were the people.

At the heart of the celebration, November gathered everyone around a long wooden table. There was no need for fancy decorations. The warmth of the gathering filled the space, and November smiled, knowing that this was its gift: the reminder to pause, to give thanks, and to appreciate the fleeting beauty of the season.

And as the sun set early, casting a soft glow over the table, November whispered a quiet thank you to the world for its shared moments of grace and togetherness.
