Thanksgiving -- The Mall Cop
At least there's one thing to be thankful for for Thanksgiving. It's a pseudo-holiday that acts as the "mall cop" for Christmas (or Chrismahanukwanzakah?). Retailers, barely able to contain themselves, and overzealous shoppers thinking that they can be one of the first 750,000,000 shoppers to get a good deal at their local mall or whore-tail outlet are the flood waters bursting from the damn. The only thing that keeps us sane after Halloween is the duct tape that is Thanksgiving.
Sure, some of you may be ready to argue that Thanksgiving is about getting together with loved ones and sharing happiness, joy, etc., *wretch* stop deluding yourselves. There doesn't need to be a "special time" for that lovey-dovey, feel-good crap. If they truly are loved ones, then why allot a weekend, or even a season for that?
As you may be able to tell, it's about time for me to start my "season" of bah-humbug!
