Don't forget Thanksgiving

So I was walking down the street a couple of days ago . . . and this is just less than two weeks since Halloween . . . and what do I see decorating store windows?? Pilgrims, turkeys, indians? No! It's all Christmas -- it's Santa, it's snowflakes, it's snowmen, elves, and brightly wrapped gifts! What happened to Turkey Day?? I mean, isn't that a pretty major holiday? It is for me -- I get two whole days off work, that makes it major. (Not to mention all of it's glorious roots as far as the founding of our country goes and of course the FOOD!)

We get all worked up for Halloween - most of us dawned a costume, went to a party, or maybe even dressed up at work. Are we really ready to jump straight to Christmas? Not me. Why not have some fun and celebrate every holiday -- especially at this time of year. I'm going simple yet high on the fun scale. I've got my Gobbler hat already to go -- can't wait to see the looks of people on the street, those at work, and the relatives when they see my Thanksgiving spirit with my turkey perched atop my head!
