I'm pretty sure I write this post every year.
Sure, the economy is terrible and retailers (also the government) want us to spend, spend, SPEND this Christmas/Hanukkah/Quanza season.
And the day after Thanksgiving is the busiest shopping day of the year
But what is with the decorations and the banners and the music already?
We have an entire week to go until the earliest Thanksgiving Day possible and already the Christmas lights are out and on and the banners are up and the radio is INSANE to be all Christmas, all the time, already.
Seriously?
Is there no money to be made from Thanksgiving, that we have to skip it and go straight from Halloween to Christmas?
This is me and can't we just wait one more week?
Because have I got a story for you!

Obviously there's no money in Thanksgiving, unless you're a grocery store. (Pecans are expensive!) And so we should all vote with our wallets and not buy Christmas stuff until Thanksgiving is over!
