Halloween and Christmas, but Where's Thanksgiving?

The season of Halloween has come and gone. This means one thing, Christmas will be everywhere. As a bachelor passes over a chick flick, we pass over the Thanksgiving holiday and run straight to the Christmas decorations, music, etc., etc. For the next two months, we will not be able to go into any store without seeing the Christmas decorations, hearing Christmas music or watch any TV show without seeing a Christmas commercial. It’s truly madness. Don’t get me wrong, I love the holiday, good grief, I’ve got a 1/3 of a website devoted to it. But why is it that we pass over Thanksgiving like a bloodhound passes over a pair of old gym shoes? I’m not really sure why. Over the next month, I intend to get to the bottom of this phenomenon. By the way, I’ve decided that writing about Christmas everyday during the holidays might be pointless. I’ll still write about it, but not every day and of course I'll include a special “just for the holidays”: the dumb things people do during the holidays.
