So tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and I am making the dinner!! It's exciting and nervewrecking at the same time! Meanwhile I got my toothpulled Tuesday and I'm on a 48-hour warm and soft foods diet! So I'm debating trying to eat Turkey anyways or eating just the soft stuff like an infant or really old person!!!
Meanwhile, lets discuss something since this is a rant page for me as well. Why stores need to be playing Christmas musice right now! They've been playing it since Halloween which is rediculous!
I'll tell you why. They have this theory where if they get the shoppers into the mood for Christmas early, they'll Christmas shop earlier. Although this tactic may indeed work, it totally takes away from the true spirit of Christmas,...you know, the one that comes in December.
Although this is cliche, I will remind everyone of what Christmas really is. Christmas is about Christ; his first coming to Earth, the birth of Jesus through the Virgin Mary,..you get the idea. It is also about families joining togethor and spending quality time. Yeah, gifts are nice, but it shouldn't be a commercialized spree filled with crowds, headaches, and music at Halloween!
One last thing; Generalizing Christmas. Now, I respect the fact that people have different religions and all, but why make such a big deal out of saying Merry Christmas? I mean, after all, if the stores can play Christmas music, they can say Merry Christmas. If they want to recognize other holidays that is fine, but it really isn't anything to have a heart attack over.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone, and I guess if I were Wal-Mart I'd be saying Merry Christmas now,..or excuse me,.. Happy Holidays!
