<br />
Just saw this term pop up on some pinterest and facebook posts. Kind of a funny term, like the Christmakwanzukkah combo holiday word in the past.<br />
<br />
Kimberly Wood over at the Wick had some nice things to say about the Thanksgiving part of that combo word:<br />
<br />
<i>Following Halloween’s exciting fall fun is the holiday of Thanksgiving, which many enjoy as a time of appreciation and happiness. In addition to festive parades and tasty turkey, Thanksgiving serves as a time to allow family and friends to come together and truly recognize how blessed they are to be a part of one another’s lives.</i><br />
<br />
At least Thanksgiving is still in the name, and not excluded already!<br />

<br />
Word on the street is that some of the stores have already put their Christmas decorations out!<br />
The Christmas Creep might be a little frantic this year after <a href="https://time.com/money/4947635/toys-r-us-chapter-11-bankruptcy/">Toys R Us declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy!</a><br />
<br />
There were a lot of changes for the positive last year, with a lot of stores closing their doors on Thanksgiving Day so that families could be together for the holiday.
<br />
Hopefully those good feelings keep up this year, and every learns to #RespectTheTurkey!<br />
<br />

<br />
We all know black Friday is right after Thanksgiving where people jump right into the mad dash to buy things, and some retailers over the past few years have even been open for Thanksgiving shopping sales.<br />
<br />
Thankfully some stores have come out now to say that they will not be open for shopping, so their employees can spend the day at home with their families.<br />
<br />
TheBlackFriday.com has a good running list of stores that will be CLOSED on Thanskgiving Day.<br />
<br />
If you're going out Friday, support the stores that support a day of thanks before shopping!<br />

<div style="background-color:#fff; padding:10px;">
What we really need to be concerned about is the War on Thanksgiving, being waged by Christmas.<br />
<br />
Black Friday is bad enough. But last year, the Christmas holiday season even swallowed Thanksgiving, to me, the best holiday of them all. A holiday built around family, friends, food and feasting. A day to count your blessings and enjoy the company of those you love most. But then again, some of us love the appliance aisle at the box store most of all.

Great to have another voice working to help keep the Thanksgiving holiday alive!<br />

<br />
Apparently in London they are turning on the Christmas lights on November 1st, far earlier than they have in the past.<br />
<br />
Taking that into account, there will be Christmas in July in our future some day.<br />
<br />
Respect the turkey!<br />

Just read a great post from Caroline Eagles blog <a href="http://www.chicagonow.com/chirishchatter">chirish chatter</a> over at <a href="http://www.chicagonow.com/">Chicago Now</a>:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.chicagonow.com/chirishchatter/2015/09/i-love-america-halloween-thanksgiving-only-then-christmas/">I love America - Hallowe'en, Thanksgiving and only then Christmas</a><br />
<br />
She's said in her post that in the US we celebrate Halloween and Thanksgiving before Christmas, whereas in Ireland and England they start celebrating the holiday even earlier.<br />
<br />
<blockquote style="background-color:#fff; padding:10px;">
And it's not just the shops. The media are just as bad - Time Out London has already published its guide to the jolliest activities and events for Christmas 2015 - in June. Time Out Chicago only did its guide last year in the middle of November. I listen to a magic radio that teleports me back to Norn Iron, reminding me how to say 'now' properly and where to buy the best soda bread - and already I've heard sleigh bells, a few 'Ho Ho Ho's and the dreaded 'C' word.

<br />
Sure enough as she posted, over at <a href="http://www.timeout.com/london">Timeout London</a> they posted a guide to enjoying Christmas, in June of this year.<br />

Glad to hear about people respecting Halloween and Thanksgiving and giving Christmas it's own time and place!<br />
