From over at: The Wick - Hallothanksmas Season Above All Others

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.

Kimberly Wood over at the Wick had some nice things to say about the Thanksgiving part of that combo word:

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.

At least Thanksgiving is still in the name, and not excluded already!

Get your turkey on!

Target Respects the Turkey!

Great job Target!

CNN - Target says it will never open on Thanksgiving again

"What started as a temporary measure driven by the pandemic is now our new standard," Target CEO Brian Cornell said in a note to employees.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving, and is enjoying some leftovers while putting up those Christmas decorations.

T-Rex Respects the Turkey!

They say that birds are descended from dinosaurs.

Maybe the T-Rex should be the official mascot of Thanksgiving, after Ralph the Rex and his friends went after some Christmas decorations put out too early!

It's not even officially fall yet!

The first day of Fall is September 13th, but already some shops are getting ready for Christmas.

Newsround - Is September too early to start thinking about Christmas?

A few weeks ago, a Tesco supermarket in Cambridge even put their own big Christmas tree up outside the store - with 117 days to go until 25 December.

We still have Halloween and Thanksgiving seasons to enjoy!

Yes, it's too early.

Big money on Halloween

As stores are getting ready to line up their Christmas displays to make all that holiday money, hopefully they are paying attention to the other holidays too.

A report just came out saying a whole bunch of people are going to be spending a whole bunch of money on Halloween stuff.

Halloween spending slated to hit record $9.1 billion, NRF says - CNBC.com

Welcome Fall 2017!

Hopefully your fall season is filled with pumpkin spice, some cooler evenings, maybe some cider and donuts, and of course shopping for those Halloween costumes.

Word on the street is that some of the stores have already put their Christmas decorations out!
The Christmas Creep might be a little frantic this year after Toys R Us declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy!

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.
Hopefully those good feelings keep up this year, and every learns to #RespectTheTurkey!


Here's a funny cartoon found over at The Diet Riot Show

It's only two days after Halloween and I've already seen Christmas lights, fruitcake and scented pinecones.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope everyone is enjoying their Thanksgiving day with family and friends.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Halloween is over, and the Thanksgiving Season has begun!

Some great news has come from the Mall of America, where they have decided to close their doors on Thanksgiving Day to allow their workers to stay home with their families.

"We’ve been talking about this for months, looking at the numbers, looking at the pros and the cons,” said Jill Renslow, the mall’s senior vice president of marketing and business development. “We’re excited to give this day back to our employees so they can celebrate with their families."

Great work Mall of America!

Stores staying closed on Thanskgiving 2015

Hopefully everyone has their turkeys thawing in the freezer, and people are making plans to celebrate a day to give thanks for they have.

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.

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.

TheBlackFriday.com has a good running list of stores that will be CLOSED on Thanskgiving Day.

If you're going out Friday, support the stores that support a day of thanks before shopping!
