I have been updating this post for years and I always find it relevant to share, especially around these days when we are reminded about being thankful.

I am thankful for the thousands of immigrants that make possible not only our Thanksgiving meals, but help make our lives infinitely better by harvesting our fruits and vegetables year-round, cooking our meals and serving us at restaurants, cleaning our homes, taking care of our kids and delivering our takeout when we’re just too cold – or too lazy – to go out.

So please, be thankful, have plenty of tamales and please don’t go hating immigrants.

P.S. I also wanted to take the opportunity to let y’all know I’m officially kicking off the Guajolote-Reyes marathon, which runs from Thursday Nov. 27 and all the güey through January , 2026.
