A GRATEFUL NOVEMBER
November brings Thanksgiving and reflections of all that I am grateful for. When I pause to think about my family, friends and the community I live in, I know I am over-blessed and I truly appreciate all that I have.
This month also brings a Presidential election and I’m sure we will all be relieved to have the barrage of ads on tv and radio, the intensity on social media and the vitriolic public discourse behind us. However, no matter what side you are on it’s important to be thankful that Americans can expect their votes and voices to be counted, and a President to be elected without violence and insurrection. A peaceful transition of government is a hallmark of American democracy and we are privileged to live in a country with forefathers who had the foresight to develop constitutional mechanisms for deciding who wins a presidential election.
No matter who wins this election, we will still be a nation of generous and freedom-loving citizens. We may have different ideas of how to get there but in the end we all strive to make America the best, most inclusive and free nation on earth. Whether your “side” wins or loses remember we’re all Americans and in this together so stay strong, composed and continue to focus on what you can control… a healthy life, a good family and togetherness not division.
Once the election is behind us it’s going to be the typical blur into the holidays and Thanksgiving will be upon us before you know it.
The Hotel Del Coronado will be celebrating with an elegant Thanksgiving dinner in the Crown and Coronet Room. The lavish three course, family style dinner will feature all of the traditional trimmings and guests will be seated at socially distanced tables of 6-10 (from the same household) for the 90-minute dinner. After dinner will be the debut of Holidays at The Del including a Winter Wonderland on the Windsor Lawn and we’ll talk more about that next month.
Another great November tradition true to my heart is San Diego Beer Week from Friday, Nov. 6th to Sunday, Nov. 15th.
Coronado Brewing Company will be participating all week by having a “Clear the Cellar Sale”. Visit their Tasting Room & Kitchen at 1205 Knoxville St, San Diego for $10 Barrel Aged Specialties!
I’m thankful that Coronado has found ways to keep its traditions alive this year and I can’t wait to celebrate the holidays!
