It seems that the retail establishment in America is systematically trying to eradicate Thanksgiving. Christmas decorations now go up the day after Halloween.
My thoughts on this are simple. Since the only industries that makes out on Thanksgiving are the poultry farmers and the potato magnates - the entire holiday gets shat on. Unfortunately, they don't have a strong enough lobby to have Congress pass laws prohibiting Christmas decorations from legally being hung until AFTER Thanksgiving.
Have you ever scene a Thanksgiving movie? "Nightmare before Christmas" fits the bill from a time perspective, but doesn't have enough Turkey in it. Other than that, nothin'. I think there's a Charlie Brown special and we do get a parade - so that's good. But it isn't enough for me.
All I ask is could you please NOT hang your holiday lights, blow up Santa and enormous snow globe until after Thanksgiving. Can the stores not have Christmas stuff out while I'm buying discount Halloween candy? Is it too much to ask?
Viva La Turkey. Solidarity.
Nuff 'said. Goodnight.
