Happy Thanksgiving, fellow Horsemen

Well my friends, Thanksgiving will be here later this week, friends will go out and get blind drunk on Wednesday night, people will stuff their face on Thursday, and creatures of the night will wait in the cold during the wee hours of the morning just to get their hands on a wireless printer. I love Thanksgiving, it’s one of my favorite holidays, but lately I feel like it hasn’t been getting its due.

Christmas is by far the best day of the year, anyone who doesn’t like the Christmas season or should I say the “Holiday Season” (Horsemen Avenue is a politically correct blog.) has no soul. I just feel like thanksgiving needs its buffer zone from Christmas. There is no need for people to have their Christmas lights on in the middle of November. Why does B101 have to start with the Christmas music already? I’m all about hearing Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton sing Silent Night, but during the appropriate time. Part of this has to do with the media and retail, I get that but come on enough is enough!

I’m not trying to be a Grinch and rain on Christmas’ parade I’m just saying, you got to respect Turkey day. I think the time to start with the decorations and songs and decorative themes is Black Friday or should I say the day after Thanksgiving. (Horsemen Avenue is not a racist blog.) It’s the official start of the holiday shopping season, and it should be the start of the Christmas season. It’s a logical and perfect fit. So when your on your second helping of stuffing on Thursday, remember to give Thanksgiving some props.
