Every year I post this. Respect for the most sacred American holiday, Thanksgiving, seems to be on the rise. But we still have far too many stores open, too many people are forced to work. Black Friday? It can be a family adventure and maybe a lot of fun. But Thanksgiving needs to be a day apart – and until it is I will keep posting this every year.
‘Twas a long time ago, longer now than it seems,
That the holiday season was crafted from dreams.
There were visions of friendship and light through the land
As if darkness itself had been thoroughly banned.
But the times closed around as the blackness enveloped
And the victory of dark very slowly developed.
