It’s OK to Wish Me Happy Thanksgiving… really! And other Turkey Day Musings.
It’s after 10 pm, and today, we had an extra long walk at the beach, watched the surfers; watched (more or less) 3 football games and part of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade,eaten a weeks worth of calories, Face-timed my family in Houston and am now pooped!
~Something came to mind today as Larryand I walked along A1A. More than a few people said “Happy Holiday.” Not Happy Thanksgiving, Nor Happy Chanukah. And some of those who said “Happy Holiday” said it as if they were speaking a foreign language and having difficulty saying this
phrase.
So, I’m curious… have we now become so “politically correct” (or timid) that we’re scared to wish someone Happy Thanksgiving… a non-religious-no gifts required National holiday?
I’m aware of the fact that for the first time in many years, Hanukkah and Thanksgiving fell together, creating for some “Thanksgivukkah!” but, it’s ok to wish me Happy Thanksgiving, really.
~Black Friday, cyber Monday, malls opening at midnight Thanksgiving night… not going to do it!
~Chocolate lover that I am, I did not come close to eating one of the Oreo turkeys that we made on Wednesday. But.. take a look at what we made!
Hope everyone enjoyed their day! Keep in mind, this is just the beginning of the holiday season folks. We’re just getting started!
