Thanksgiving being phased out
I believe thanksgiving is being passed over in the US because it is strictly a US holiday and does not fit into the GLOBAL calendar. Also historically it is a celebration of a country's heartiness and spirit of perseverance. So they are blowing past it right onto the world-wide year end holiday celebration. So I am making sure I say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.......

Fuck I bought 100 turkeys today to give to clients and local charity. I wish I would have known this before.

Also the price of a 22 to 23 lbs. turkey has gone up a good chunk this year

You must be real fun around Halloween.

Always focus on the negative, never any possible positive aspect or way of thinking.

Thanksgiving is so ingrained in the American psychology. It will never be phased out. Thanksgiving is one of our few comforts throughout the year.

We love it.

Re: Thanksgiving being phased out
Hallmark will never let this happen. Nor will other corporations.

As for those sitting here biting their pillow over the poor "Native Americans". I challenge you to look back into your history and see if there wasnt war or conflict over resources or other matters. Who did YOU push out. Fucking hypocrites.

Countries I dont want to hear a fucking peep out of: Britain at #1, Spain at #2, France at #3, Italy at #4, and just keep on going. That goes for you Canada and Australia as well.

Besides...the true meaning of Thanksgiving is gone, as are all traditional American holidays that have been watered down and commercialized. The Progressives want the former, and corporations the latter.

Re: Thanksgiving being phased out
True, havent seen one ad or commercial yet for Thanksiving parade, history of the First thanksgiving with the Indians or interviews at the Turkey Farm

Ive seen no decor in the store except for Christmas.

I would almost forget to remind myself to hit the sales, buy a few extra Turkeys to freeze, Safeway will have em for less than ten bucks

SO there is no need to celebrate even a modest Thanksgiving, with family, coworkers, anyone for you?

It's all about "the man" and TPTB making us buy Turkeys and slave for hours in a kitchen?

You really can't see any other perspective of being grateful for anything even though you have your INTERNET connection?

Do you have "thanks" for anything in your shallow existence?

i love the 4 day weekend Thanksgiving provides, but on the flip side I wonder how different life would be had the Native Indians let the pilgrims freeze and starve!
