WHERE ARE THEY!

Where are they? Where are they? I go to Wal-mart and don't see any. I go to Target and don't see any. I go to the large stores and don't see any. The thing that I am talking about are THANKSGIVING DECORATIONS. Has this important day gone by the wayside and nobody thinks it is important anymore. This is a day families gather to give thanks for what we have, everyone must have something to be thankful for. In the stores all you see is Christmas signs saying "shop early". When I was a kid, a long time ago, you never saw Christmas decorations until about two or three weeks before Christmas and there was the reminder that this is Christ's birthday and we should remember that. Now it seems that, that too has been forgotten and Christmas is a season where retailers force goods upon us so they can make money and put us deeper into debt. Stores use to decorate for Thanksgiving with large turkeys with pilgrim hats, horns-a-plenty and pilgrims amd signs saying Happy Thanksgiving. I am glad to see that schools have children make decorations for this special day and I pray that they too will not let it slip by the wayside.
