I am totally with you on this one SP. Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday, and I dunno....it just seems like it is made so much less of because Christas is jumping way ahead of time. Back ten years ago, it seems like it was always the day after Thanksgiving that Christmas prep started. And it was always so exciting. But now, there's no official start. I dunno, I'm irritated by the non-stop xmas music, too.
