Now that Thanksgiving is over, I am able to sit back and recoup from the activity. I'm not sure about anybody else, but a holiday such as Thanksgiving takes a lot out of me. Of course, it puts a lot in me, but that's another story.

I'm not quite sure which holiday we are celebrating. Is it 
Thanksgiving? Or, maybe it's Christmas? Or, then again, it may be New 
Year's Day. Whoever designed these holidays so closely together needs 
to rethink the strategy here. 

Another wish I might have. Holidays should not be an excuse to go
shopping. Somebody should pass some kind of congressional bill stating 
that on holidays people should stay at home. Holidays should be a 
family affair. It should not be a contest to see who can spend the most 
money on one day. I know I stand alone on this issue, but I do not 
mind. It's my opinion and I'll keep it to myself, thank you. 

The day after Thanksgiving, I heard somebody on the radio singing, "We
wish you a Merry Christmas." I don't mind being wished a Merry 
Christmas, but I sure do wish they would wait until Christmas to wish 
me such pleasantries. 

Even Jesus recognized the importance of resting. "And he said unto them,
Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for 
there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to 
eat.” (Mark 6:31 KJV). 

Then I heard a certain store in our community was not permitting any of
their employees to say to any customer, "Merry Christmas." To which I, 
seeing the challenge before me, promptly went to that store, not to buy 
anything, but to wish everybody I saw "Merry Christmas." After all, 
under such circumstances, you can't start too soon to wish people Merry 
Christmas.
