November: Favorite or Forgotten?

Michael McShane, Staff Writer

With Halloween behind us, most people shift their attention right to Christmas, but are they are skipping a few important events, such as the entire month of November?! People seem to skip November and move straight to December, without even realizing that we still have Thanksgiving to celebrate. It seems as though big corporations are to blame for the “Christmas Craze”.  By mid-October, they have already set up red and green sparkly decorations and their ad campaigns fill our television screens for Christmas gifts– without paying much attention to the holiday that is Thanksgiving. As a person that celebrates a November birthday, I believe we should give more time to Thanksgiving and November as a whole. People need time to be thankful before mass buying or singing carols.
