I now officially give permission for people and companies to start celebrating Christmas. You cannot start before Thanksgiving like so many did, or, even worse, before Halloween like a couple did. Don't these people know what is going on? It's called the Holiday Season; it's not the Christmas Season, each holiday has it's own worth. It seems like people just tolerate these other holidays so that they can get to the real one, when they can consume to their heart's delight, indeed, when they might be called a Scrooge for not spending all their money on frivolous items. What kind of holiday is this? An American one, that's what kind.

Proud to be American

Thanksgiving on the other hand is just kind of odd. We give thanks by spending all day cooking and then stuffing ourselves with what we made. Unless you're a man, then you spend all day watching television while the women cook, and then you stuff yourselves.
