It's Christmas?

Going to Walmart, you see the Christmas lights. Hear the Christmas music. Get the Christmas feel.
....But wait. We haven't had Thanksgiving yet. Come to think of it, the Christmas music seemed to be playing right after Halloween ended.

The thing is that it seems that stores automatically skip over the Thanksgiving holiday all together...except for the high sales on the turkeys of course. Even on ABC Family there was a count down to the 25 day Christmas countdown. How often do you see a countdown to a countdown? It just seems like stores force the Christmas season onto everyone.

Not to try to push down the Christmas season. I absolutely love Christmas. It just seems like stores put Christmas on fast forward to "get parents to buy their gifts early" or to "buy the Christmas lights while they're on sale." It just seems like Christmas comes so fast, and people forget about Thanksgiving and being thankful. Instead, a person has to worry about getting everything they need for Christmas.

I still and will always love Christmas, but I feel like Thanksgiving has lost a lot of it's moment in time. This meaning people don't think about being thankful for things as much as they used to. With Thanksgiving coming up so soon, I feel that we really need to step back and look at how thankful we should be for the things we have.
