Oh the wonderful memories provided by The Thanksgiving Tree. Reminds me of my younger years, sitting around, singing T-Give songs, unwrapping turkey stuffed with deliciousness. Can you think of a better time?
Wait. This doesn't sound right.
Oh yeah. We never had a Thanksgiving Tree, just a Christmas Tree. Hmm. Why on Earth would the Hampton Inn in Port Arthur where I am writing this have a tree up? Last time I checked, today is November 11, 2 weeks prior to Thanksgiving, much less Christmas. Why are the Christmas decorations up?
I understand stores putting their stuff on sale for decorations, and their initial displays. But a hotel that is not yet selling these items should not have this stuff up. Ridiculous.
This happens more and more every year. Cities putting things on the lampposts, holiday commercials on tv. I am willing to bet there is even a mall that already has Santa preying on little children. The creep gets worse and worse. As I write this an ad played in the background for Glade's holiday scent. Starbucks has out their holiday flavors (Pumpkin Spice should be year round however for it's awesomeness). IHOP this morning had holiday pancakes on their menus. These aren't Thanksgiving flavors traditionally either, except for pumpkin. This reminds me, I need a pumpkin milk shake from JITB. Yes, I have a pumpkin problem, lay off.
It is at least a nicely decorated tree.
