Do you know what’s in a week, friends? American Thanksgiving. Do you know who hosts Thanksgiving and hasn’t ordered a turkey yet?
If you guessed me, you’re absolutely correct.
(In my defense, the place I always order from went out of business about two months ago, and now I don’t know what to do.)
It feels like as soon as November hit everything went full-bore toward Christmas and, for the life of me, I am not ready to do Christmas.
Let me enjoy November! Let us at least get through Thanksgiving before we worry about Christmas!
But, alas, it seems not to be. For example, the small-ish, mobile one’s school is having their Holiday Market, where they can buy presents without us parents knowing what they’ve gotten us, tomorrow. And I don’t know how many emails I’ve gotten that are titled something like “Haven’t gotten your Christmas cards yet?”
I can only imagine how irritating this season is for people who don’t celebrate Christmas.
The Christmas market downtown opens Saturday, as do a number of other Christmas-themed activities.
Please. Please can we just wait until after Thanksgiving. I don’t even have a turkey.
It also adds unnecessary stress, you know? I haven’t done my Christmas cards or bought presents or anything, and quite honestly I won’t until after Thanksgiving anyway, but now I have to worry about it.
Thanks, commercialism.
Any tips for keeping Christmas at bay for another week? Any tips at all?
