Heart: About this "war on Christmas"... I'd say christmas is definitely winning, and it's kicking thanksgiving's butt. Dean: yep.
There’s a war on all holidays, or at least a movement to abolish them. Remember when New Year’s Day, Easter, and July 4th were actual holidays? One by one they have become ordinary weekdays with business as usual.
Thanksgiving Day is the latest casualty starting in 2013, thanks to Macy’s, who decided they would open their stores on that day. Of course, the other major retailers had to follow suit. Then restaurants and supermarkets decided to jump on the bandwagon. In a few years Thanksgiving will be nothing but another fancy marking on the calendar, unless people wake up and take back the holiday season.
Christmas will be next.
