Thanksgiving—a holiday centered around thankfulness—is Thursday.

The annual family feast day is a great time to pause and reflect on what you're most thankful for this year. The holiday also traditionally kicks off the frenzied Christmas shopping season, which means the remainder of the year is often but a blur.

Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Patch will publish an article with a list of your holiday wishes and thanks.

If you have a holiday wish or note of gratefulness you'd like included in the article to be published Thanksgiving Day, please send it to amie.schaenzer@patch.com.

If you don't want your thoughts to be a surprise for someone, you can add a comment below. But it you want to preserve the surprise element, send that email! 

The deadline to have your Thanksgiving thoughts included in the article is 3 p.m. Wednesday.

Keep your entries to 100 word or less.
