November 24, 20196 yr How early is too early? I love Christmas. Truly. But Thanksgiving deserves to have some respect put on its name. The actions that led to the holiday aside, how can you just completely overlook a holiday that costs nothing(for most) to participate in and you get to visit with family and eat great food? Please be prepared to defend your position.
November 24, 20196 yr In the past the tree goes up the Saturday after Thanksgiving. With the wife having hip replacement on Tuesday we put the tree up today.
November 24, 20196 yr My tree has been up for a week. I started watching Christmas movies the day after the WEBN Fireworks.
November 24, 20196 yr Author In the past the tree goes up the Saturday after Thanksgiving. With the wife having hip replacement on Tuesday we put the tree up today. I don’t need excuses! My tree has been up for a week. I started watching Christmas movies the day after the WEBN Fireworks. You’re a disgrace! Tree and decorations went up today. Christmas is in a month. Thanksgiving is in 5 days! Shame on you!
November 24, 20196 yr Our stuff has been up since early November. I don't understand why people assume that putting decorations up early means you're overlooking or failing to celebrate Thanksgiving. Why is it impossible to celebrate both simultaneously?
November 24, 20196 yr Author Our stuff has been up since early November. I don't understand why people assume that putting decorations up early means you're overlooking or failing to celebrate Thanksgiving. Why is it impossible to celebrate both simultaneously? Because Thanksgiving doesn’t even get its own day! You finish dinner then go shopping for the next holiday! I don’t know why I thought you were smarter than this. Childish...
November 24, 20196 yr As an example...our church today had a Community Thanksgiving meal. A friend and I, along with our kids, delivered 35 meals to some needy, aged, or ill individuals and families in our area. Took us 3 hours. As we drove from house to house, we listened to Christmas music. So we were literally celebrating both simultaneously.
November 24, 20196 yr Thanksgiving isn’t even a holiday that should really be celebrated, IMO. You can enjoy stuffing your face while looking at the Christmas tree.
