Thanksgiving

I just wanted to put in my $0.02 about the Thanksgiving holiday. I'm getting really irritated this year with the lack of holiday spirit towards Thanksgiving. I mean for crying out loud, stores had Christmas decorations up about 2 weeks before Halloween was even over. How long does it take to purchase decorations and set them up? Why don't they put up Thanksgiving items/decorations up a couple weeks before Halloween, and then Christmas decorations a couple weeks before Thanksgiving? I could handle that much. Because you want to see whats available and mentally plan your setup for the year.

Another thing that really got me, they started playing Christmas music at night on a local radio station here. WHAT!?!?!?! Am I the only one that feels this way? Is Thanksgiving not that important anymore? Is there no real celebration for it? Is a holiday that makes us focus on giving thanks, just another day? I understand that everyone gets together on just one day, but it should be a feeling we have. So why not use decorations to help others remember what holiday it is?

I don't know anymore. None of my co-workers see a problem with it. It's not a bad thing that people are getting in the Christmas spirit so early, but there is a holiday they are missing inbetween. Maybe people go so big for Christmas, they don't want to get into the Thanksgiving mood only to have to get into a Christmas one so soon after?

Well that's my rambling about Thanksgiving. I need to end this, and work on the next post. Thanks for listening! =)
