I had to go downtown last week and everything was decked out
for Christmas. TV is full of Christmas ads. Supposedly, the Hallmark channel is
nothing but Christmas movies, Someone told me one of our local radio stations
has begun to play non-stop Christmas music.
Then there is all the hoopla going on about the big box
stores being open on Thanksgiving. What the hell? I get it that some people
don’t do the family thing on Thanksgiving but just stay your butt home. Do you
really have to eat out or shop? What about the people serving you wanting to be
with their families. Don’t you feel just a bit guilty for making them miss
their gathering?
Maybe we should just have one holiday per year on July 4 and let it encompass all the other holidays we used to celebrate in this country. The whole country just shuts down for 1 week and we have one big party. Dyed eggs in a basket carried by Santa Claus, fireworks, a ball drop (or possum if you are from NC), flag waving, we can wear costumes, etc. etc.
What do you think about my grand idea?
I'm always up for anything involving the appearance of sweet little possums :)
