I am wondering...Where has Thanksgiving gone?

In the stores everything went from Halloween to Christmas!

I was commenting on a facebook post (above) from a friend of ours and it made me think; where has Thanksgiving gone and what will the media and retail chains do to Christmas this year?

The social media and retail stores want us to think about Christmas to stimulate our spending and skip right over being thankful for everything God has blessed us with. Never mind that they also will not acknowledge Christmas for the birth of Jesus but, instead say happy holidays or something similar. As Christians we can not follow the patterns of this world but be bold and break away! Remember the Thanksgiving holiday as a time to thank God for all the blessings but also remember when Thanksgiving is over not to conform to the world by saying happy holidays but instead; Merry Christmas!

Good for you, speaking up for Christ and what Christmas really stands for. Heard that Obama wants to call the national Christmas tree-the Holiday Tree. Bah, humbug!
