Time has been flying Thanksgiving wasn’t even here, and stores had been transformed into Christmas setting.
It’s just the first of December, and the world weeks ago brought out the holiday decorations and totally skipped over Thanksgiving.
As I’ve sat watching TV recently, the only commercials that come on were for Christmas. In a time span of 3 hours, there were 11 ads for Christmas and only one for Harris Teeter turkeys. Thanksgiving was just a little bump in the road, yet society jumps over Thanksgiving and focus on Christmas.
I was in Teeter the other day before break, and the Thanksgiving decorations were almost invisible, and the Christmas ones were on the way up. For starters, the isles are set up with candy canes and Hershey kisses with red and green wrappers, and the only visible thanksgiving items were a few balloons floating in the air.
In conclusion, I would just like to point out that the world that we live in is difficult for people to live in and not get stressed about-when society jumps ahead to a further holiday, and skips over what’s going on in the present. To quote a Hallmark card, “Yesterday is History. Tomorrow is a Mystery. Today is a gift, that is why it is called the Present!”
