David, I just went to 3 stores at lunch time & everybody was playing Christmas music. And of course, the Christmas decorations were up the day after Halloween (some even before Halloween). This past weekend, I went through a small town and their decorations were hung on the lightpoles already - and they were lit up!

I think it's rushing it WAY too much. I LOVE Thanksgiving. It's my favorite holiday - being around the family, not having to worry about presents, watching football, going for a long walk afterwards, eating tons of turkey. Ahhhhh...I just love Thanksgiving. Christmas can wait.
