Take Back Thanksgiving

Another bird of a feather in the fight against the Christmas Creep taking over Thanksgiving, is the folks over at Take Back Thanksgiving.

From their "About Us":

We believe that Thanksgiving has been overlooked in recent years. It’s becoming more and more common that Christmas decorations are on sale before the Halloween costumes even come off, that radio stations are starting to play Jingle Bells before the trick-or-treaters even have a chance to unwrap that first fun size candy bar. We think that’s a crock.

Fight on fellow turkey warriors!

Thanksgiving Unplugged

That little smart phone in your pocket can be pretty hard to put down, even at the dinner table.

No Thanksgiving shopping in Massachusetts

Thanks to some old laws called "blue laws", there will be no Christmas shopping on Thanksgiving in Massachusetts!

The laws state that retailers can not be open and can not force people to work those days.

Sounds great!

Turkey vs. Newspaper

Dogs: Is the turkey worth the punishment?



Cartoon text:
(Two dogs sitting among a pile of turkey bones): What it really comes down to is a question of values... is a delicious, succulent turkey, baked to perfection, worth a few whacks on the nose with a newspaper?

Pledge to not shop on Thanksgiving!

This pledge is really making the rounds this year for Thanksgiving, hopefully it makes a difference!

Why don't you take the pledge today too?

Not sure of the origin, but it looks like it came from this facebook group:

Say No To Shopping on Thanksgiving

They're already on our birds of a feather group, so hopefully they keep up the fight!
