Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is one of those holidays that I think has a good idea behind it. We tend to take the things we have for granted and stress about the things we don't have, rather than being content in whatever circumstance. Anyways, there is definently a downside to the holiday. I guess there are two. Firstly, that by isolating a concept into one day and a bunch of greeting cards, it is objectified and loses meaning. You see it in Mother's Day, Veteran's Day, and all the holidays that are just 'reminders' of someone or something. Nextly, it is more about a day off of school and eating until your stomach contains enough food to feed several third-world countries for a year, once they rinsed off the bile. Eew. Gross. elib eht ffo desnir yeht ecno. There. That should have reversed it. Just making sure you're still reading. Anyways, I could write more on the topic, but... I'm not going to.

that is so very true. some holidays have just turned into hallmark days as i like to call them. Buy someone a card and you've "celebrated" the holiday. but ti's more like, the card industries just tries to make up new hoidays just for money. we really have lost some of the real meaning of these holidays.
