* Why do all retail stores skip Thanksgiving? You can buy plenty of Halloween crap. And starting a week or two before Halloween, you can even start buying Christmas crap. But there’s never any Turkey Day crap to be found. Retailers complain that they don’t sell, but since they don’t stock them it’s a no-brainer. Weird.

You still haven’t topped 25 seconds in today’s web game, have you? Back to work with you. 29.573 seconds for me on my last go-around, by the way. . .

I am a harcore holiday traditionalist. I feel that every holiday deserves its own time to shine. Halloween has been on a downward slide for a number of years, although it has seemed to be picking up a bit. And then the day after Halloween was always Thanksgiving time. Getting ready for the big day. And then the first talk of Christmas always occured when Santa came at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. Then Christmas began hardcore the day after Thanksgiving. I hate seeing Christmas stuff anywhere before Thanksgiving.
The worst was when my wife and I went to the mall the week before Halloween. Bath and Body Works already had Christmas trees up and were playing Christmas songs. Even worse, I had Chrsitmas music stuck in my head for the next week!
So, Augie, for one am frustrated by the lack of Thanksgiving love and the overabundance of Christmas. I saw a cartoon the past week that said it all. It was a picture of a store that had a banner up that said, “Merry Thanksgivoween.” I want separation dammit!
