I'M ON MY SOAP BOX....

AGAIN...NOVEMBER 14 2012 ....

Why, oh why, can't we celebrate the holidays when it is time for the holidays. 

Christmas is already on the main stage.  I love Christmas, but at Christmas time, not before Thanksgiving. 

Thanksgiving is being shoved out the door, Christmas is becoming more and more commercialized, we are losing the TRUE meaning of these two major holidays.

Now they are moving Black Friday into Thanksgiving Day.  What is wrong with people in general.  You have plenty of time to do your shopping.  Black Friday is bad enough, what a zoo.  But Thanksgiving Day!!!! 

We, as a country on the whole, have lost the true meaning of our holidays.  It is a sad thing to see. 

Thanksgiving is special.  It is a day to give Thanks - thanks for our country - thanks for our families - thanks for our freedoms - thanks to God for looking out for us - thanks for our military for protecting us - thanks that we are just alive and with family and friends.

Can't we, as a whole, celebrate a holiday without shopping being the main goal?   Are we so brain-washed that all we can think is shopping till we drop, regardless of what day it is.

I am afraid that we have fallen so deep into the 'hole' that has been dug for us that we will never find our way out.

Have a good day and God Bless.
