Sick of It [11.1.08]
Today's occurrence happened in the library. My friends and I were studying in the library and everything was going well until I realized the music that was playing in the background. My head jerked back, forth, up, down, and side to side as I realized that we were studying to "Silent Night". "What? Who is listening to that?" My friend weakly raised her hand and admitted to having Christmas music on her computer. "What are you doing? It is the beginning of November! Whatever happened to Thanksgiving?!" I continued, saying how she was disturbing the natural order of the world by celebrating Christmas before Thanksgiving. Then I got to thinking...what if she was just reacting the way that we are supposed to? In all honesty, the radio stations are playing Christmas music even before Thanksgiving is over. Are we simply pre-programmed to think in Christmas even before Thanksgiving?

In all honesty, though, do you know of any "Thanksgiving" music? No. So what's the next logical choice? Christmas, obviously.
You are intensely bitter, N. I would tell you that there is indeed music out there suitable for Thanksgiving, but I will instead not dignify your comment with a response ;)
