The Forgotten Holiday

Stores were decorated lavishly for Halloween A precursor to the extravagant Christmas décor Seems like Thanksgiving slips silently in between Almost like it’s not a holiday anymore. A precursor to the extravagant Christmas décor Should be cornucopias and some pilgrim hats Almost like it’s not a holiday anymore, It’s hard to find Thanksgiving, think of that! Should be cornucopias and some pilgrim hats Throughout the harvest month of November It’s hard to find Thanksgiving, think of that, Amongst the rush from Halloween to December! Throughout the harvest month of November I’m seeing some frozen turkeys in the freezers Amongst the rush from Halloween to December, A token for us old Thanksgiving-lover geezers. I’m seeing some frozen turkeys in the freezers Seems like Thanksgiving slips silently in between A token for us old Thanksgiving-lover geezers, Stores were decorated lavishly for Halloween.

I think so. Seems like it gets lost in the Halloween to Christmas shuffle. I don't like it, because I think Thanksgiving is such an important American holiday.

Thanksgiving has definitely been diminished, although those turkey T.V. dinners can get old, also those pictures of pilgrims wearing hats with belts around them, can give one pause. I love it too!
