Christmas Before Thanksgiving Research Paper

Let’s face the facts…. Christmas is in December. It’s October and not even late October at the time I’m writing this; and I’m already finding this gross red and green, Christmas related, candy cane striped trash sneaking its way into all of the stores! And this is just unacceptable! I mean, it is one thing for craft stores, like Hobby Lobby, because they have all seasons all the time and just shuffle stuff to the front as it gets closer to their respective holidays, but when it comes so Sam’s Club, Walmart, Dollar General, and huge chain stores like these, there is no reason to have Christmas stuff even showing up until AT LEAST after Halloween. And even yet, what kind of nutjob puts up Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving!? I don’t even
like the pumpkin-spice-everything hype train all these people jump on at the end of August through Mid-September but even that was dumped harder than Russell Brand dumped Katy Perry (which was saying over text that he was divorcing her) but I’d rather have that than “ho ho ho” wall decorations and Christmas trees showing up in the Walmart aisles. The saddest part is that we don’t flow normally from fall to Halloween like we should, or skip from fall to Thanksgiving which is more acceptable (but even that still skips over a holiday). No, we have to go straight over Halloween AND Thanksgiving straight into December! I don’t know about you but I despise companies trying to turn Christmas into a spend money holiday and who then proceed to jam it down your throat earlier and earlier each year, which is terrible and not the purpose of Christmas but that’s an entire rant on it’s own.
