November Jingle Bells

I know that some say it is wrong.
"It makes Christmas season too long"
To hear Jingle Bells played
Before Autumn can fade,
But I don't know one Thanksgiving song!

I have to agree that it seems Thanksgiving decorations, wishes, and celebrations diminish each year, taken over by Christmas. I actually received my first Christmas card this year before Halloween! Congratulations on your win Jesse! :)

Jesse, this is cute and so true, except for Adam Sandler's Thanksgiving song, congratulations on your winning placement!

oh I know a Thanksgiving sleighing song: To Grandmother's House we go! I think it was about Thanksgiving. Maybe I am wrong. Anyway. Love this lim. Congrats to you.

Well, in that case, you are certainly entitled, methinks! Jingle Bells, Turkey Smells, All around the house... How about this one: 'We gather together to ask the Lord's Blessing. He hastens and chastens His Will to be known... Yeah, it's mucho, mucho archaic. But it is a T-giving song. Then there's 'Turkey in the Straw.' ... OK, I'll ut-shup now! ~ Gershon

If the meter allowed it I'd amend it to read one GOOD Thanksgiving song. LOL.

Ah, Jesse. Look up "Over the River and Through the Woods." A good one!

I know the song, but had only ever heard the Christmas version... perhaps that is part of the problem. Any holiday song just gets appropriated into a Christmas song. To be fair the beginning is talking about going through snow which definitely seems more of a December experience.
