I love the holiday season.
What I dont like is how overlooked Thanksgiving is during this
time of year. It has almost become like a Christmas dress
rehearsal. Its sad too because, in so many ways, Thanksgiving
is better than Christmas.
At Christmas: You are forced to wear garish sweaters
with snowmen and reindeers that make you look like you just got
back from a yard sale at Andy Williams place.
At Thanksgiving: You are forced to wear your buffet
pants. You know, those pants that have just enough give as you
feed yourself to maximum capacity.
At Christmas: If you get a lousy present, you have to
pretend you like it, make up a lie about why you need the
receipt, then wait in a long return line to maybe get
store credit.
At Thanksgiving: Even if you get some dry turkey, lumpy
mashed potatoes, or stuffing that is thicker than mortar, its
nothing that gravy cant fix.
At Christmas: If you fall asleep at your family
gathering, whispers go around about how you may have had too
much eggnog.
At Thanksgiving: Sleeping isnt just ok, its
encouraged!
At Christmas: One day off of work.
At Thanksgiving: FOUR DAY WEEKEND!
At Christmas: People bring presents. Theyre for certain
people.
At Thanksgiving: People bring food. Its for everyone!
At Christmas: The same movies and specials you have seen
on a continuous loop throughout the month of December for the
past 50 years.
At Thanksgiving: Football. Lots and lots of football.
At Christmas: Once you open presents, the day is pretty
much over.
At Thanksgiving: We use words like seconds, thirds,
and leftovers.
At Christmas: You have to untangle your lights.
At Thanksgiving: You have to unbuckle your belt.
See? After you break it down, Thanksgiving rules! You can have
your malls, carols, wrapping paper, maxed out credit cards, and
fruitcake. Ill take sit down, eat, sleep, and leave every day
of the week.
