Thanksgiving vs. Christmas

I was watching the Today show the other day as they were choosing their favorite holiday. The entire crew picked Thanksgiving over Christmas for varying reasons. Interestingly enough all were in agreement that at Thanksgiving all you have to do is give thanks and eat. Christmas has definitely started in the last few years on July 5th it seems. I hadn't even made a Christmas until recently only to find out that there was a Christmas list circulating for me already. Cheese and rice, give me a break! Slow down people. Actually a case of Abita Light would be just fine.
