I feel like every single year we have the same debate. The debate in question is, should it be acceptable to start celebrating Christmas before Thanksgiving? This question, I’ve noticed, tends to get people incredibly fired up either way. People are either adamantly on one side or the other. Okay so here’s my take: It should be considered acceptable to begin to celebrate Christmas before thanksgiving. I’ve always loved Christmas, I mean who doesn’t? It truly is the most wonderful time of the year. So if you ask me, why shouldn’t we be able to celebrate it whenever we want? Something else I’ve noticed since starting college is that we students really don’t have much time to celebrate Christmas with our friends at college. If we focused solely on Thanksgiving up until after the break, we would only have so much time to celebrate Christmas with them. Also, Christmas is the prettier of the two to decorate for. Give anyone a choice between putting up a Christmas tree and, I don’t know, an inflatable turkey, (I’m now realizing that I don’t know how to even decorate for Thanksgiving besides leaves and turkeys) I’m picking the Christmas tree. Christmas also has an entire genre of music dedicated to it, I don’t hear any songs about thanksgiving playing on the radio this time of year. What would a thanksgiving song even sound like? I am now very curious about that one. Anyways, moving on. Christmas is just all around, the more exciting thing to look forward to. It’s a whole season. Thanksgiving is a single day that kinda feels like the Thursday of the holidays. So, to wrap up my very passionate feelings about this topic, I’ll leave you with this. Christmas should be celebrated from November 1st all the way through December 25th. Thanksgiving can have the week of the actual day and nothing more.
