Happy November everyone! What a fabulous Halloween I'm sure we all had, and now that Halloween is actually over, we can move ahead to the Christmas season! Yay!

Wrong.

How about we all take a tiny second to remember that Christmas is in fact not until December 25th. It's the same day every year people, it's not that hard to remember.

And yes, I get that it's somehow more difficult to remember when Thanksgiving is (though not really how hard is it to remember the 4th Thursday), but you should remember it regardless.

This year Thanksgiving is on the 24th, so mark it on your calendars-- except it's already there, funny how that works. As it works out, that's actually a whole entire month before Christmas! Wow!

Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas. It's my favorite holiday. I love the Christmas season, and all the other holidays that fall in that time period and theme. I love everything about it.

But it's about time people start remembering that Thanksgiving is a holiday too.

I get that everyone wants to do their holiday shopping, I get that people like to make Christmas cookies, I get that you like Christmas music (so do I), and I get that stores make a huge profit off of selling anything Christmas related.

But Thanksgiving is an important holiday to do exactly what it says in its name: give thanks. Be thankful for what you have, spend some time with your family and loved ones.

And for that matter, please for the love of God someone delete Black Friday. I don't understand how anyone could just give up spending time with people they love and taking time away from the people who have to work that day just so they can go and trample each other to get a discount on some thoughtless gift. I just do not understand.

My Christmas wish this year is that everyone stop jumping straight from Halloween into Christmas, since they are two months apart and there is in fact a full holiday in there that some people actually consider important.

Christmas is not in November. Christmas does not start on midnight of November 1st. The Christmas holiday does not last the span of two full months. November 25th, go ahead. Put up the tree. Wear your ugly sweater. Go wild.

But only after Thanksgiving has ended.

So please, remember this year and from now on that Thanksgiving is still a holiday, and you should be spending time with loved ones and counting your blessings. Christmas isn't for a good long time, I promise you'll have plenty of time to prepare after you finish your Thanksgiving celebration.
