Its all about CHRISTMAS (or the Holiday season—or the Gift Giving Season) They were putting up the Christmas decorations before Halloween was over. In the future Thanksgiving may not be celebrated at all—even today people call it “Turkey Day” -— The need for Greed has transformed Christmas into a gigantic Potlatch —an orgy of spending. New Years is a relief of drinking to lessen the spending at Christmas. Thanksgiving has been hyjacked by Santa.
