I feel sorry for Thanksgiving. It is the fogotten holiday. Halloween is popular because of all of the candy involved, and Christmas - need I say more??? But retailers and people in general just slide over Thanksgiving.
The local radio stations are already playing Christmas music!!! Can you believe that??? I believe that Christmas music should not be played until at least the day after Thanksgiving, and I refuse to listen to it. When it comes on the radio, I change the channel.
Maybe part of the problem with Thanksgiving is that it isn't self-serving in nature. It is a day set aside to give thanks for the things we have been given: family, friends, homes, health, food, etc. I am standing up for Thanksgiving!!!
Now will you please pass the turkey, green bean casserole, and pumpkin pie, and don't forget to turn on the football games!!!!
You'd think we'd be a little more hospitable toward a holiday where the main focus is EATING. Or wait thankfulness, yeah it's thankfulness. That's right. :)
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving is my favorite holiday for this very reason - aside from the feast, it's about spending time with family and/or friends. I also refuse to listen to Christmas music before around the first part of December...but stores are already playing it so I have had to listen to it.
ReplyDeleteAmen! I love Thanksgiving. No pressure, just food!
