I love thanksgiving. It seems like November 1st rolls around and everyone breaks out the Christmas lights, gingerbread houses, and Christmas carols.
Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas with all of my heart. I just think that Thanksgiving is a really awesome holiday with all the potential for celebration that Christmas has.

Christmas

Mascot:
Santa Clause
Value:
Celebrating the birth of Christ
Celebration: eating food and
spending time with the family. Oh... and spending money.

Money. That is the reason why Christmas robs Thanksgiving of all of it's glory. Correction: Greed robs Thanksgiving of all it's glory.

I love this picture. So funny and random. Do you think you could actually make a turkey look like that? Okay, that was probably a really stupid question.
