DOWN TIME.

THANKSGIVING IS NOT A SEASON ITS A DAY AND DONT MAKE ME THINK OF CHRISTMAS UNTIL BLACK FRIDAY.

so a friend of mine mentioned today 'im sick of people saying they are so stoked to be crossing names off their christmas list'. wha? halloween was four days ago. are you seriously thinking about christmas? fuck that. this is what i like to call a holiday void. its awesome. the month post trick or treating pre overeating is this killer absentia of responsibility and holiday pressure that i refuse to let go of. thanksgiving is not a 'season'. you dont pull a sepia plastic tote from target out of the basement full of turkey decorations and whatnot. and if you do, stop it. most of us dont. im really into the move some people pull where they dont put up monsters and cobwebs for halloween but play it safe with a haybale and a gourd or two from whole foods. maybe an uncarved pumpkin. these folks are smart because they can just ride those decorations through october, past halloween and straight through november without so much as a glance at their front porch knowing hey, i am festive, i am fall, im all set. no one will say shit i guarantee and more than likely youll get approving nods from the neighbors. can we please silently protest the obliteration of a holiday-less 25ish days with no pressure where we can enjoy your friends and drinks and dinner and sleep and just go to work and come home and not have to think about anything until someone tells us to come over and eat and watch football in detroit. yah? thx. ps- i go out to eat on thanksgiving. 

this
