Holiday Hoo-Hah

Well, it's November already... in fact, a Week of it has gone! How is it that these months sneak up on us every year. We know there are 12 months... we know their names... but yet... somehow we get stuck in the dragging warm months of summer and forget that these last 3 months are on the horizon. We feel like the 100 degree days will never end... and the next thing you know [POOF] it's Thanksgiving time.

I barely remember seeing Halloween decorations in the stores. And the reason I know it's Thanksgiving time?... Is because CHRISTMAS decorations are in the store. Why is it that we can't take ONE HOLIDAY AT A TIME? Is it that not enough people are Thankful? It seems that Thankgiving just gets glossed over as a time to eat too much, and watch football. If that's all it is, then its meaning has gotten lost along the way.

As evidence to that... we see the Christmas decorations and merchandise in the stores already so they can get our money earlier and earlier... and we can get to the Gift Giving Holidays - EXCUSE ME??? Christmas seems to have also lost its meaning to many.... it's Primary Objective was not to be a Gift Giving Holiday. Santa Claus REALLY did not invent Christmas... NOR did Hallmark. They just seem to be the focal points. And please.... let's have some tact this year... you people that put yard ornaments up... PLEASE... PLEASE... do not put Santa and the Manger on the same lawn...Please!
