Thanksgiving v.s. Christmas

IrOqUoIs_FeMmE15 · 11-06-2007, 12:07 AM

Am I the only person that gets annoyed when people start putting up their christmas light on like the 2 day of November? Guys Thanksgiving is the Holiday in November not Christmas I just think its totally uncool that people are so ungrateful towards the one day of the year your suppose to be thankful................
I just wanted to know if I was the only loser that thinks in November you should focus on Thanksgiving and not jump feet first into the Christmas season a month in advance. lol Poor Thanksgiving its so under appreciated. Besides its the one day of the year our Natives kind of get play even though we totally shouldve poison those white people. lol

I totaly agree with you about the Thanksgiving and christmas thing. I get a bit agrivated about it too. I don't know know where your from but here in ohio the stores started to put out christmas stuff in october. It's nutts what the big corps are doing to make a buck or two.

Me too. I am also annoyed my dept stores that put up x-mas stuff in the month of November. Ive always b***hed about that.

Maybe ppl are no longer thankful.

I know exactly what you mean. What ever happened to the good ole days. No long lines...Everything was cheap..Holidays was never that commerialized..Families wantin to just get together and a nice Feast etc. Ho gosh I am starting to sound like My Grannies..I better stop Lol.

me too I can't wait till Thanks giving my son will be home from collage, my husband's partner will be coming over were trying to fix him up with a friend lol

Mud_Woman · 11-07-2007, 12:12 PM

Im with Ginger.
I was looking for Thankgiving items and was directed by a store clerk to half a shelf also. Wow! Napkins, table covers, tiny table decerations, and pictures of indians and pilgrims. I felt like i was the only person in that store looking at this stuff.

Dept stores could wait till after Thanksgiving to put out x-mas stuff. Like Stonewoman said "commerialized", thats all it is. Its not about being thankful for family and friends. Its about what can i buy for x-mas at a cheap price.

**Ginger** · 11-07-2007, 01:51 PM

Now why would I buy a couple of pilgrims to put on my table

Yeah! every year I start to get depressed when it come to Christmas, daym it's like a competition who's getting the best gift etc. I told my boys that I'm broke & they get to live one more year, for Christmas

Oh you know what makes me nutts the fact that I posted this yesterday and I went into work today and they were decorating for christmas and gave me a red christmas shirt to wear tomorrow. WTF! Its Nov 7 for crying out loud. Starbucks is stupid I hate that people are so ungrateful towards the one day of the year your suppose to be grateful. No decorations until Black Friday end of story.

Great pic, Ginger!

You know, it didn't really bother me that much when I went to Wal-Mart the other day and saw the holiday display of snacks and crackers, and I know they had started putting up their artificial trees and decorations for sale before Halloween.
