I think Thanksgiving might be my favorite holiday of the year. It hasn’t been commercialized yet, although the black friday bullshit is trying hard to ruin everything. It’s spent with family, good food, good times. It’s just what a holiday should be.
Now it’s over and it’s bumming me out a little. Why? Because of what comes next. Christmas. Commercialization. Gross consumerism. Constant ads telling us that we don’t love our loved ones if we don’t buy them the right stuff. It makes me want to puke a little. I always enjoy Christmas, but the build up to it is annoying at best.
So now I have to try and move the giant treadmill out to the garage. We’re going to buy a real tree this year and give our fake one the year off so we have to make sure we have a tree stand. We have to rearrange the living room. None of that is a problem (except the treadmill… I haven’t a clue how to pull that off). Then I have to make a wish list and make sure everyone in the house has made one too, then we have to spend all of our money and stress over whether we have enough of the right stuff. All while being assaulted with Christmas schtick. Urgh. I just want it to be Christmas Eve so I can start enjoying it.
What’s worse is that this year there is an additional holiday sandwiched between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It’s called Star Wars the Force Awakens Day and it is December 18th. Do you have your tickets yet? We do! The Force is strong with our Fandango account!
Anyway, enough bitching. I hope you all had as happy a Thanksgiving as we had. Now enjoy the weekend (assuming you’re as lucky as we are and have today off). Gobble Gobble HoHoHo.
