![]() ![]() We dilute the spirit of what Christmas is truly about by starting early. ![]() When we allow negative thoughts to sour our souls and dispositions to the point that we need a chubby guy in a red suit with a herd of caribou to cheer us up, something is definitely wrong. What went well? What didn’t go as planned? What will we do differently in the future? What will we avoid doing? And, most importantly, what are we grateful for? When we begin hyping Christmas before Thanksgiving (or, God forbid, Halloween), we gyp ourselves of the thoughtful, mindful period during which we can look back over the previous months and take stock. Aside from chronology, several excellent reasons exist to remind us (and retailers) that the Christmas caboose belongs at the end of the annual holiday train. But if we look at the calendar, Christmas doesn’t. Yes, if we list the two holidays in ABC order, Christmas comes first. Once and for all, someone … okay me … needs to answer the question: What comes first, Christmas or Thanksgiving? What Comes First? ![]()
