And all I could envision was that clip of Palin smiling away, totally oblivious of the turkey slaughter behind her.

(60,010 posts)The movie A Christmas Story was quite like my memories as a kid.
Christmas was a season that started around Dec. 15th and ended Jan. 1.
That was it.
The towns I lived in put up decorations around the 15th, the stores were decorated in some fashion, you shopped between the 15th and Christmas eve, the stores closed early on Christmas Eve and did not open till teh day after Christmas.
You sent out Christmas cards after the 15th, with or without a religious theme.
The tree came down Jan. 2, accompanied by parent's hangovers from the night before.
And because it was such a limited season, when the tree WAS put up and plugged in ( with lots of tinsel and those big lights)
it was a very special sight.
Now Christmas is in the stores by Halloween and Thanksgiving is limited to a shelf or 2.
