Happy Thanksgiving From Listverse!
I am a New Zealander and we don’t celebrate thanksgiving here, but most of our audience is in the United States and I feel a very kindred connection to you all.
These last few years has been very difficult for me with the deaths of some very important people and the flow on from that. You have all been incredible in welcoming me back this year. In 2019, the thing I am most thankful for is you: the Listverse readers.
So, thank you for making a very difficult time a little easier for me. I hope you have the happiest of Thanksgivings. You have all of my most heartfelt and genuine best wishes.
