Save Thanksgiving.

I am utterly disturbed. Every year, right after Halloween, it starts.

Slowly, Christmas lights and music make their way into our malls. I went to Micheal’s this year looking for Thanksgiving decorations during the first week of November. What did I find? An entire CORNER of the store with Christmas wreaths and one measly, half empty shelf of leaves and “creepy” spider’s in the Thanksgiving “section”.

The mall here, a four story giant, put up decorations AND a huge Santa tent that consumes the entire lounge area, about 11 days ago.

I think it’s time to start a Save Thanksgiving movement. No longer are holidays saved for the months in which they occur. Thankfully, Halloween still get’s to shine, but only because there’s so much money to be made on costumes.

But turkey’s and cranberry sauce, no Sir. There’s no money to be made here. So instead of celebrating this family oriented day of tradition, it seems to be skipped entirely.

November is no longer for Thanksgiving. November is the time to began fervently telling our children that they need to have the biggest, most expensive gifts possible. No need to celebrate the birth of Jesus, you just need to make sure your parent’s put themselves into debt to make sure you are effectively spoiled.

This isn’t the holiday season, this is the time for money making. Save November, people, Save November.

My love, leave yourself behind, beat inside me, leave ya blind.

My love, you have found peace, you were searching, for relief.

You gave it all, gave into the call, you took a chance and, you took the fall for us.

You came thoughtfully, loved me faithfully, you taught me honor, you did it for me…..

Now I am strong, you gave me all, you gave all you had, and now I am whole…

My love, look what you can do, I am mending! I’ll be with you.

You took my hand, added a plan, you gave me your heart, I asked you to dance with me, you love honestly, gave what you could release.

I know in peace we’ll go, I hope relief is yours…

My love, leave yourself behind, beat inside me, I’ll be with you.

-Sia.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

I love him, more than anyone, anything.

He is my heart, I cannot live without my heart.

Because permanence frightens me, he is denying me an anniversary. “We’ll figure it out next year.” He believes, I won’t be around this time next year.
