When you turn on the radio, you don’t want to be hearing Christmas songs for 4 weeks. You want to be hearing your normal music or thanksgiving music (If there is such a thing). In November, no one wants to be hearing Christmas songs. It is even worse if Thanksgiving isn’t over yet. My family waits to do anything Christmas until after Thanksgiving. The day after Thanksgiving, black Friday, we have tree day. This is the day we put up all our Christmas trees and decorations and the Christmas music can start playing. Lets take it one holiday at a time plus do you really want to be hearing Jingle Bells or Santa Baby for 3 weeks straight. I don’t remember us every celebrating New Years before Christmas ever came.
Thanksgiving should be getting more attention. Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful. Maybe Thanksgiving should come after Christmas so we can be thankful for our gifts and have a holiday for it. Be thankful for the thing you have this Thanksgiving and really think about the purpose of the holiday. I guess I should be more thankful since I am not very thankful for the Christmas music playing too early this year. Be thankful for the Christmas tree you have, the turkey and mashed potatoes you eat, and the Thanksgiving pie your grandmother makes. It just some ideas for thing you can be thankful for so when someone asks you, you can have a long list. Then no one will ever ask you what you are thankful for again. I just ask that someone can tell the radio stations it is not Christmas time yet. Then I will be very thankful of that person and my Thanksgiving will be full of thanks.
