Trick or Treat, Merry Christmas (hey aren't we missing something?)!!!

Ok, so is it me, or does Christmas seem to come earlier every year?

I mean really...as soon as the Halloween decorations came down, BAM...the Christmas decorations were up. I wish I were exaggerating, but I'm not. This is the absolute truth.

Poor Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving gets no love :-(

Christmas has become so commercial that retailers begin the season earlier and earlier each year to bring in the bucks. Who cares about the spiritual significance of Christmas? Maybe I'm the only one.

And the music!!! Man!

I was in a store today and the Christmas songs were BLARING! Today is only November 13th. We've still got over a month to go here people!!!

Me...I don't pull the Christmas music out until December 1st...NEVER any sooner. And my Christmas collection is a lot different that what you'll hear in the stores. MY Christmas collection is about (get this!!!) JESUS! I know...sounds silly doesn't it. But I wouldn't have it any other way. Quite honestly, it shouldn't be any other way.

Yeah...every now and then we pop in a song about a reindeer, or the jolly old man in the red suit...but 99% of the Christmas music that we listen to in my home, is about the REAL meaning of Christmas. That also happens to be the name of one of my favorite Christmas songs..."The Real Meaning of Christmas".

So anyway...I said all that to say this...can we give Thanksgiving just a little bit of love. Hmmm...maybe we should come up with a song. Wha' da ya think?

Let the DIALOGUE begin! If you could write a song for THANKSGIVING how would it go? Throw me some lyrics.

Talk to me!

Til next time...
