I hate to skip Thanksgiving decorations because I LOVE the meaning of Thanksgiving but it's sure tempting to get out the Christmas stuff when there are already Christmas commercials & cheesy Christmas movies on tv and all the stores are decked out in red & green.
I personally hate the fact that the consumer has now caused retail workers to have to work on THANKSGIVING! I refuse to shop (except maybe online) on Turkey Day. I will admit that I have, in the past, succumbed to the Black Friday allure and run out (not at 4am though) to grab a deal or two--but nothing I really wanted was there. I guess they only stock 5 of each item to tease us and get us into the stores at all hours of the holiday, those clever Marketing people!
Of course, I have to work that day anyway, so I'm not making it any worse by shopping on a holiday...but if you do run out to grab that fabulous deal, make sure to say THANK YOU FOR WORKING ON YOUR HOLIDAY to the all too chipper employees!! I always comment how no one says that to us when we work the holiday.
Anyway, with a quick switcheroo, our house goes from scary Halloween to festive Turkeys! Here is how I changed the house (in less than 1 hour including outside stuff) from Halloween to Thanksgiving!
I'll give it a few weeks, but get ready because all it will take is a 50 degree day here in Texas to make me want to dig into the trees and ornaments!
