Ever notice how the theme of every Christmas movie is that the characters discover the "True Meaning of Christmas". While they don't spell out the true meaning of Christmas for you (because then they'd have to admit it's not Jesus) the movies imply that the true meaning is thanks and gratitude for family, friends, generosity, etc.
Wait a minute, isn't that the meaning of Thanksgiving? How did we forget to be thankful in just a month? Why do we need a reminder of this value so soon?
Does this mean that Christmas is just the holiday version of a second wife(a little sexier, a little more fun) where you eventually become disappointed by her superficiality and begin to miss old Mrs. Thanksgiving?
