I don't start putting up Christmas stuff until after Thanksgiving.

 

Everyone else can rush the season but not me.

that makes sense..  thanksgiving is not something i celebrate or know much about.. as it is..all i know whitie was starving.. native americans fed them and then a few years later when whitie was established.. to return the favour they then stole the true  native americans land and shot them .. is that how it goes ..please correct me if i am wrong ?

It was originally just a harvest festival and feast, made into a federal holiday back during the Civil War as a day of "Thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent Father in the heavens", and now is just an excuse to stuff our faces and talk to family members we barely know and tolerate.

There was also "The First Thanksgiving", which was the harvest feast that the first puritan settlers in the Americas had, where the Natives and the Pilgrims put aside their differences and helped each other out before the white man mercilessly slaughtered them for two centuries.

It's kind of a sham, really, but it's a day off work and people get together and eat and supposedly enjoy each other's company.

I just feel like as soon as Halloween is over, that's when the Christmas music and Christmas advertisements and Christmas shopping and Christmas Christmas Happy Holidays Happy Christmas Holidays Hanukkah Winter XMas Holiday Extravaganza starts and I get really tired of it by the time the day actually arrives, so I start as late as I can.

Also those lights draw a lot of electricity and I'm not made of money.

Well not just shot. White folks got real creative by using smallpox in biological warfare against them.

Alrighty, on to less talk about genocide. My family also waits until after Thanksgiving, but it's more about not having money to burn on an energy bill for two months of shiny lights around the house.

that is you and empty saying the same thing..i am picking up that times are tough there atm
