I keep wondering why they play Christmas songs before Thanksgiving. However, I really do know why and so does everybody else. Christmas is not really about Christ anymore. It is all about money. The quicker we are tantalized with Christmas music the more money we will spend.
No one has really commercialized Thanksgiving except for the supermarkets and the turkey farmers. So far no one has figured out a way to make Thanksgiving into a gift giving day.
I think that is a major miracle. Think about it. The flower world has not tried to get us to buy flowers. Hallmark has not had a major push for cards. (well, maybe a few).
So maybe Thanksgiving is really a gift from God. A day of true family unity.
Maybe we should give our thanks to Jesus on this day and let the leeches have Christmas.
However, we really need some good Thanksgiving music. Something like:
bless our table with Turkey wings
please pass the gravy someone sings
Bless this food and all that's good
let's leave Christmas for Robin hood
Pass the cranberry's and apple pie
oh my stomach we all say with a sigh
bless our families with peace and love
but most of all God
send your blessings to all
from heaven above.
Those are some words and now they need music. Any volunteers?
