What about the war on Thanksgiving?

The culture warriors on either side of the “war on Christmas” have been unable to recruit 78-year-old Mary Rittler. She told the Los Angeles Times: “You talk about offended — I’m offended when stores start putting up Christmas lights in November. Let Thanksgiving have its day.”

    Christmas and Thanksgiving are American holidays and a serious part of American culture. if you don’t like that, well go back to wherever it is that you came from.

    Christmas and Thanksgiving go with the “turf.”

    Tearing down American culture or attacking it is a “No No.”

    That’s the “line in the sand.”

    That is this American’s opinion, and there’s a whole lot more of me.

    I agree that Thanksgiving gets swallowed up by all the pre-Christmas (or should I say pre-holiday, as not to offend anyone)hype. Thanksgiving used to be a very special holiday all by itself. Now, with Christmas (aka “Holiday”) stuff coming out right after Halloween, there’s not a lot of emphasis on Thanksgiving. It’s sad.
