The people around our tables \u2013 friends and family members \u2013 are special to us, and more than a few are people whom we don\u2019t see as often as we should. Sharing this meal and this day with them is something to look forward to, and to celebrate. Food is a fitting centerpiece for such an occasion (\u201cshameless plug\u201d alert), especially if it was grown in California.<\/p>\n<p>This annual gathering is a great recipe for memories and stories, and for laughter. We \u201ccatch up.\u201d We reconnect. We welcome new members into the family fold. As holidays go, Thanksgiving done right is a casual, comfortable affair that is just the right warm-up for the bustle to come.<\/p>\n<p>For our farmers and ranchers, we are thankful this season for the hints of rain and snow that have begun to come our way at long last \u2013 may they be a sign of what\u2019s to come.<\/p>\n<p>Part of my Thanksgiving holiday tradition is to help prepare and serve a meal for the homeless hosted by my church in downtown Sacramento. It is a reminder for me that the things we are thankful for may bear a striking similarity to the things we shouldn\u2019t take for granted, from prosperity and health to water, safe shelter, food and family. Not all of us \u2013 not even in bountiful California \u2013 are so fortunate. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve ALL Californians.<\/p>\n<p>Around many tables this year, families will thank soldiers, past and present, for our safety. We will include parents and siblings, teachers and neighbors in our thoughts and thanks. My family will also thank our farmers, ranchers and farmworkers. They work hard for all of us and the fruits of their labor bring us together, at Thanksgiving and all year long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanksgiving is built around a most basic blessing: food.
