The holidays can often times be the hardest times of the year for many people as they have already been struggling to stay afloat the rest of the year. The holidays only bring added pressure to have big meals, gifts, and make travel arrangements which all cost a significant amount of money.

A wise person once said comparison is the thief of joy and as right as they may be we can't help ourselves as humans but to compare and contrast. Which can lead to someone feeling an array of emotions about how the holidays turned out. Also, let's not forget that holidays are meant to be family time which isn't always possible or could come with some restrictions.

Thanksgiving and Christmas are two of the holidays where this is seen to be a bigger issue than the others. Thanksgiving is all about spending time with the people you are thankful for, eating amazing food, watching something entertaining, and sleeping. Unfortunately, some people don't have this luxury for several reasons. One of those reasons may be the income and Meijer is determined to take that barrier away for Michigan families.
