My (nonserious) thoughts.....about Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a season of gratitude
It's also more than that
It's a season of messed up routines
Of stomach flu
Of so much sleep
Of turkey
And of oversized idiots tackling each other
Why can't they each get their own ball?

Thanksgiving is an awkward holiday
Stuck between the start of school and Christmas
Gives people a false happiness of a break
But pulls away, with a teasing tone
"Too bad, you still have three more weeks before break!"
It symbolizes the start of Christmas
Goodbye turkey, hello Santa

Black Friday is also odd
People trying to get best deals
Buying things that will be useless in two months
A day to be greedy
And to get more things
After the day of being thankful for what you have

In all, Thanksgiving is a nice holiday
But it's also an odd holiday
It's a trailer for Christmas
An excuse for overeating
And for overspending
Goodbye Thanksgiving
Come back and be awkward again next year.

From the Archives of Happy Little Thoughts: Black Friday

I've come across some wonderful Black Friday quotes. Here are a few that I'd like to share with you-

• Black Friday is the day where people trample others for sales exactly one day after being thankful for what they already have.
• Black Friday is made so that the people who spilled food on their clothes during Thanksgiving dinner will have a chance to buy more. 
• YEAH!! My medical bills for Black Friday were more than what I saved during Black Friday!!

and my favorite-

• Black Friday should be called the Hunger Games. People kill each other and the winner gets a $20 Crock-Pot.

Apples!!

So many apples.
Mama likes buying apples.
Picked 9 pounds
Bought 12 pounds
Then bought 46 more pounds
Equals lots of apples.
Apple pie time.
Many, many, apples.

The hairbands on my wrist match the season

I swear, it was a total accident. I think it's making me look more organized than I actually am. Who actually matches their hairbands to the season? I don't even match my hairbands to my outfits.

It's finally cold enough

to eat ice cream slowly, savoring the taste, without worrying that it's going to melt and get all over. Life is good.

Eating seasonal food like-

Oh yes, I did actually do that yesterday with pumpkin pie+apple cider...but accidentally deleted all 56+ of them...so this isn't even my picture. Whoops.
