Just a heads up, this is my rant for the week :)
As we all know Christmas is easily taking over the months of November and December. Used to it would be only December that you would hear of Christmas sales, lights, and movies on TV. Now starting on November 21, ABC Family is starting their 25 Days of Christmas (before Thanksgiving). Walmart and other stores are starting black Friday early... on Thursday, and the holiday is quickly being consumed by the need to sell and promote Christmas. What happened to the days when Christmas was about being with family, not about buying so much your living room can't take the weight. Thanksgiving is a massive holiday in our nations history and no one seams to remember that. As we approach this holiday season remember what it is about, not what or when you need to buy. The holidays are about family not products. I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!
I agree with your "rant for the week". Thanksgiving is not getting enough attention these days, and people may be forgetting the "true" meaning of Christmas as well. To be honest, I find that it's kind of sad.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great Thanksgiving as well!
I LOVE THANKSGIVING... I dislike Christmas, it's no fun, and all about money now.
