Gratitude, Gathering, and the Great Last Frontier
Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and as the days grow shorter and the temperatures dip, Alaskans across the state are preparing to celebrate in true Last Frontier fashion. Whether you’re nestled in the Mat-Su Valley, watching snow fall over Anchorage, or taking in the quiet beauty of rural Alaska, this season offers a perfect opportunity to reflect on what makes life here so special.
Living in Alaska teaches a unique kind of gratitude—thankfulness for warm homes on cold nights, strong communities in remote places, and the breathtaking landscapes we get to wake up to each morning. From crisp mountain air to northern lights dancing over snowy hillsides, Alaska gives us countless reasons to pause and appreciate the world around us.
Thanksgiving is also a time to learn from the land and its traditions. Alaska Native cultures have deep roots in gathering, sharing, and living in harmony with nature—values that align beautifully with the spirit of this holiday. Whether you’re preparing a traditional turkey or incorporating salmon, moose, or wild berries into your feast, food in Alaska tells a story of resilience, resourcefulness, and connection.
For many Alaskans, this season also marks the beginning of winter activities: pulling out the snowmachines, waxing the skis, or prepping cabins for cozy weekends away. It’s a reminder that home—whether a lakeside property, a mountainside retreat, or a family house in town—is more than a structure. It’s the foundation for memories, traditions, and gatherings like Thanksgiving.
As we head into the holiday season, all of us at Alaskan Properties want to express our gratitude for the trust and support of the communities we serve. Helping families find their place in this incredible state is a privilege we never take for granted.
