Money Under the Car Seat & Other Things to Thank God For, by Daniel Whyte III with family and friends, is a light and fresh celebration of Thanksgiving. Money Under the Car Seat was written to "rekindle an excitement for Thanksgiving in the hearts of some who have allowed that fire to dim a little over the years, and to inspire the Thanksgiving lovers to love this holiday even more and to celebrate it better." According to Daniel Whyte III, Thanksgiving is a state of mind. Something happens in a person's heart around Thanksgiving. Whyte writes: "We do not make Thanksgiving happen. Thanksgiving happens to us. What I mean by that is--even though some wise people, many years ago, prompted by God, of course, started what is now called the Thanksgiving holiday to give thanks for the mercies, blessings, and provisions of a loving God, God has taken a very special interest in this holiday called Thanksgiving, because it brings glory to Him. And God is very interested in His glory. When Thanksgiving comes, I don't know about you, but I sense more than ever the presence of Almighty God."
