Help Me Find My Holiday Spirit

I'm going to be with family this Thanksgiving. We are travelling to Virginia and spending time with my sister and brother. This will be the first holiday we have
had together since I have been married. But, here's the thing...my heart just isn't feeling it this year. With the economy, me being currently unemployed, my youngest son having to return to Iraq after the holidays, all the bad in the world right now and just feeling like things will never get better. I appreciate any style, any length. Just please help me find my holiday spirit again. I know my family here at AP will do just that.
