We have the biggest table, and I always have a ritual of cooking what I can ahead so I can get up and watch Macy's parade and my DVD of 'Miracle on 34th Street,' and then enjoy a day with the relatives. What other holiday celebrates nothing but eating and visiting?? If only they aired 'Plymouth Adventure," I would be set. As for shopping on 'black Friday' I'd rather have my toe nails ripped out!

In the end, I haven't done so because I respect the private property rights of others, no matter how abhorrent I find their practices.<br /><br />Picket lines, on the other hand, are a marvelous idea.

I was stuck with the poser of whether I should just abandon my shopping cart and start over elsewhere - it was the last aisle - or hold my nose and cash out my groceries. I did the latter, somewhat to my shame as the Thanksgiving Comes First guy.<br /><br />This week, I know what I'm headed for, and I'll either have to go somewhere else or make some sort of a stink about it to salve my conscience.Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-51711324374472060192010-11-02T13:45:43.364-04:002010-11-02T13:45:43.364-04:00I did go visit all of these links.

Why, just this very morning, I stopped in for one of my occasional Starbucks'es, and they handed me my coffee in a cheery red-and-green, snowflakes-and-reindeer, Christmas-themed cup. I just stared at it for a couple seconds, and asked the grandmotherly lady who proferred it to me (who has, over the years, become something of a friend of mine) if I could please have it in a regular cup. But she told me that when the corporate-types brought in the Happy Holidays cups last night, they took the regular ones out with 'em. . .<br /><br />So now I've gotta count the cost as to whether I'm really prepared to forego my Starbucks'es until after Thanksgiving. Or, you know, Advent-purist that I am, until Christmas. . .<br /><br /><i><b>AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!</b></i><br /><br />And of course, I will, in the fullness of time, have something up for you to link to. But it makes absolutely NO sense for me to put up my Advent post before, you know, Advent. . .Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12044041773404411751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-51343475851792648882010-11-02T04:53:39.967-04:002010-11-02T04:53:39.967-04:00Thanks for the prayers Jim!!
