It’s that time again! It’s the first of December, so today and every day hereafter through New Year’s Eve will have a NEW entry on Sure, Why Not?, just like every year. So, let’s-<\/p>\n

Oh, wait, I think I hear something! Let’s listen…<\/p>\n

Thanksgiving<\/b> You know, for a holiday about loving and sharing, you’re getting a bit greedy.<\/p>\n

Christmas<\/b> What? What’d I do?<\/p>\n

Thanksgiving<\/b> Let’s go over this one more time. November? Mine. December? Yours.<\/p>\n

Christmas<\/b> Yes, yes, I know. What’s the problem?<\/p>\n

Thanksgiving<\/b> The problem is your decorations keep appearing way the hell back in October in some cases.<\/p>\n

Christmas<\/b> October is Halloween’s territory. What do you care?<\/p>\n

Thanksgiving<\/b> Well, it’s not like they take them down in November just to put them back up a month later. No, instead, decorations are up.<\/p>\n

Christmas<\/b> Hey, now, let’s go over this<\/i> one more time. I have no control over what people who celebrate me do.<\/p>\n

Thanksgiving<\/b> Well, try something. People are getting ready and excited for you when they haven’t thought about buying their turkey yet and are still finishing off their Halloween candy, if they’ve even distributed that yet. I’m getting covered up here.<\/p>\n

Christmas<\/b> Relax. You’re still the official gateway to my season.<\/p>\n

Thanksgiving<\/b> Who other than Nordstrom remembers that?<\/p>\n

Christmas<\/b> Come on, are you really worrying about what stores do? They’re about the all-mighty dollar. What about individual people? How many houses are Christmas decorated before you come along? Not many.<\/p>\n

Thanksgiving<\/b> I suppose.<\/p>\n

Christmas<\/b> So what’s the problem?<\/p>\n

Black Friday<\/b> LOL HAI U GUIZ<\/p>\n

Thanksgiving<\/b> Fuck off!<\/p>\n
