Thanksgiving

Hey, it's me again! Your friendly neighborhood cynic! The end of the year is coming folks! Thanksgiving's just the beginning! In no time at all, it will be December! Then comes 2009! I'm using a lot of exclamation points!
Yep, soon enough we'll be surrounded by: dead birds for two consecutive holidays, family members whom we barely know, Christmas carols that have been created with the sole purpose of driving us insane, and peace and good will coming out of every single pore in our bodies. Yet, somehow amidst the hustle and bustle (can't have one without the other it seems) of the holiday season, I still manage to love this time of year. That is probably because I have almost no responsibilities and practically no one to shop for. Yes indeed, I love this time of year, even the cold weather. Somehow I just love being zapped to my core with the chill of winter and searing my lungs with the frosty atmosphere. Let it snow (I honestly fully intended just to say that, but, inevitably, the song comes to mind)!
This could also be just the opportunity we've been looking for to save the economy with shopping after Thanksgiving and Christmas. BAM, BAM (not to be confused with the character on the Flintstones)! Well, a happy Thanksgiving to everyone out there shorter than me (just add a congratulation for those taller. They deserve it)
