It's funny, my wife complains that "Christmas is celebrated earlier and earlier every year!" She is upset that it's even celebrated before Thanksgiving...
We were watching A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, and Peppermint Patty complains that they're celebrating Christmas before thanksgiving. That show was first aired in 1973. I wonder if people only think if it's being celebrated earlier, or if there is actually a "date creep." I'm indifferent, I'd celebrate Christmas year round if I could. Let the jolly old elf be in all our minds, even in February. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: NT System Admin Issues [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Mon, 22 Nov 2010 09:19:59 -0800 Subject: Re: [OT] A poem for the holiday > A bit outdated... > > Now it's "Halloween is drawing near!" > > Soon to be "Labor Day is drawing near!" :-( > > Ben Scott <[email protected]> wrote on 11/22/2010 09:46:17 AM: > > > Downtown they've put up Christmas lights, > > And decked the streets with tinsel bright. > > The windows of each store you see > > Contain at least one Christmas tree. > > In shopping centers everywhere > > Christmas carols fill the air. > > And Santa's broad and merry face > > Is seen in almost every place. > > From all these signs, one thing is clear, > > Thanksgiving Day is drawing near! > > (Author unknown) > > > > > > My thanks to all the ntsysadmin contributors! > > > > -- Ben > > > > ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ > > ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ > > > > --- > > To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software. > > com/read/my_forums/ > > or send an email to [email protected] > > with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin > > ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ > ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ > > --- > To manage subscriptions click here: > http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ > or send an email to [email protected] > with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
