laffnatu Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 I was at work yesterday and we decided to put up our Christmas tree. We put it up and our Grinch of a mechanic says that we are "cheating" Thanksgiving workers out of Thanksgiving. Because we are skipping Thanksgiving and heading straight to Christmas. We aren't skipping TG... we have it decorated for both. I told him that I'm not cheating anyone. I am still gonna eat Turkey on Thanksgiving. To pacify him, I hung little plastic turkeys from the tree also... maybe he won't complain anymore. Do anyone else (not me) think that each year we start earlier and earlier with Christmas?
erh12275 Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 We do start Christmas earlier every year. This year Kmart had it out w/ the Halloween. But I don't mind...as long as it's not out year round...lol.
Guest Frieked Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 I bought christmas ornaments at target weeks before halloween. They were star wars ornaments and I'm pretty sure have since sold out :)
gisellerol Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 NO WE ARE NOT CHEATING THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS IS THE HOLIDAY SEASON WE ARE CELEBRATING BOTH BY PUTTING UP OUR TREES EVERY ONE PRETTY MUCH HAS THE SAME TRADITIONS ............
BrandyJervas Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 since dh is military we do christmas 2 weeks early every year since ya never know if he'll have to leave so we buy our stuff early and on black friday after shopping is done we start our christmas decorating. But Thanksgiving isn't getting cheated at all by a little early decorating.
TBA Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 nah dono't think anyone is cheating thanksgiving. the walmart here usually starts putting up christmas in later september. This year it was late october so it started later there are christms decorations popping up all over town here, we're going to put ours up before long too!
WELUVKDS79 Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 What a stinker......yeah it's a bit early but, our store across the street had the Christmas stuff up the day after Halloween....OBTW...I am a starbucks junkie and their little cookies rock:D
Guest all2tired Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 I don't know of any store that doesn't have the tree up before Thanksgiving. Granted i think putting them up in Sept or Oct is going a little over board butthey all do it. I think Nov is ok to put it up but why some do it in Sep is beyond me
eve Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 i guess i see his point it wouldn't kill the store to wait till bf, but i don't see anything wrong with it
Jenniferharrison82 Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 I wouldnt want to wait until bf personally. I dont cheat thanksgiving, I just love my xmas decorations.
Mommie2one Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 Last year I did put up my tree the weekend BEFORE Thanksgiving. All well. Plan to do it next weekend too
ebony0421 Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 People don't decorate for Thanksgiving like they do for Christmas, but I think that people aren't taking away from the meaning of Thanksgiving just because there are Christmas decorations around. We don't put our tree up until bf, but I would put it up before if it were up to me.
