What happened to Thanksgiving?

Friday morning, while on my way home from work it was confirmed that Thanksgiving is no longer a holiday of merit. Several incidents have led me to this conclusion. Number 1 - while shopping with my friend last week, we walked into a store where Christmas music was blaring from the speakers (of course, we immediately had to leave). Number 2 - while driving home through downtown, I saw that all the shops had their windows decorated and all the lamp posts had green wreaths attached. Number 3 - over the weekend, I visited my parents and I spotted not one but TWO trees bright and shining in the windows. Number 4 - on my way home from work Friday I noticed that what was once a normal radio station had turned to "All Christmas All the Time." Now, before you start thinking that I'm the biggest grinch ever, let me explain something. I love Christmas. I might even consider myself a Christmas fanatic. I love decorating, baking, and listening to Christmas tunes as much as the next fool...that is AFTER Thanksgiving has officially ended. Of course, I have occasionally been caught humming a Christmas tune or two around Thanksgiving. BUT, that is my own choice and I refuse to have Christmas rammed down my throat any earlier than the day after Thanksgiving. Doesn't Thanksgiving deserve it's own spotlight? I can just picture Bette Midler (aka Christmas) singing wind beneath my wings to Thanksgiving. It's terrible. I say we take a stand and take back Thanksgiving!
