Why Rush into the Christmas Rush?
By Mindy Johnson in General
Why do we rush into Christmas?
This week, before Thanksgiving, we heard Christmas songs on the radio.
I kept changing the channels until I just turned it off.
I'd really like to embrace Thanksgiving first.

It's not that I'm a Bah Hum Bug.  I love Christmas, I really do.
And I like Christmas songs.  But how about save them for after we celebrate Thanksgiving

We politely shove Thanksgiving aside with a slight nod as we eat the Turkey and talk about what we want for Christmas and plan for the early Christmas shopping the morning after.

The Christmas season can very well be lovely and beautiful, but so can Thanksgiving, because we have so much to be thankful for.  Let us remember the reason for coming together.  Not to herald in Christmas, but to stop...and fully appreciate everything given us.
