What Are You Thankful For, Trabuco Canyon?

TRABUCO CANYON, CA — Whether you share one thing a day you are thankful for or if you just wrap it into one comment over social media, we want to know what makes you most thankful this year.

Mother Melissa Whipple of Aliso Viejo is thankful for her four children, and fall fun frolicking in the leaves. Though Orange County does't see much of a change of season, she loves seeing the children play in the leaves almost as much as she loves the cool temperatures for baking holiday treats.

So what makes you thankful? Do you have a local restaurant you love and feel deserves some extra support? Does your child's school or teacher go the extra mile for them? Or is it a glorious southern California sunset that makes you stop and remember just how grateful you are to live here.

Jump in and share it with us. If it's in your own life or the life of the city, as long as you're thankful, we want to know about it.

Let's get this comments section rolling with the best of what's gone on in Orange County this year, and if you've got a photo of what matters, upload that as well. And, of course, we at Patch are certainly thankful for your contributions!
