Definitely my favorite non-Christmas holiday.  Pity the thing is being turned into a Christmas shopping event.  Give Thanksgiving its due!

You don't have to participate in that, though.  I don't know anyone who would give up part of their Thanksgiving with friends/family/turkey/football to go shopping.

For what it's worth, the self-righteous Facebook campaign to boycott Thanksgiving Day sales is annoying. 

I do however have to be subjected to Christmas decorations and Christmas music already.  Look I know there are no Thanksgiving songs but can we at least put a few Turkeys and Pilgrims up or something?

No.

My Grandma always did.  Man I loved all those wax turkeys.  WHERE DID IT ALL GO WRONG?

You know that would annoy me too.

As it is, with no holiday to interrupt, I demand Christmas songs from Armistice Day to Epiphany :contract:

Though I did balk when I saw someone wearing a Christmas jumper last week.
Let's bomb Russia!

Armistice Day?  :lol:  My local store replaced the back to school displays with Christmas displays in early September.

I like my years divided. I get irritated at people wearing poppies before Halloween :blush:

I always have Christmas and Halloween knick knacks about. :blush:

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

No they are actually pretty tasteful / you would hardly recognize them at first. :)

Do yanquis have turkey at Christmas too?

Why crappy mashed spuds instead of delicious roast ones?
