it’s pretty unbelievable that’s thanksgiving is thursday. it doesn’t feel like that time of year yet. not to me, at least. i think it’s partially to do with the fact that they started playing christmas music on the radio and movies on tv more than a month ago. come on. they do this every year. next year, they’ll start at the end of september, and will continue on this path until they keep christmas decorations up all year. black friday will be every friday. and the holidays, like they haven’t already, lose their meaning completely.
some call me the grinch. some call me scrooge. i don’t hate the holidays. i hate the commercialism behind them.
i heard a great idea on the radio last week. we should do the holidays every 4 years, like the olympics. 4 years are spent bidding on who will hold the festivities. uncle bill will give his reasons, as would aunt flo. then you vote, and whoever wins, hosts the holidays. and this way, having the holidays every 4 years, they’ll be that much more exciting. and instead of christmas music, we can just play the olympic theme on the radio and in malls.
genius.
