Clearly, retailers invented Thankmas to either annoy us and/or make us feel like we were being chased. Congratulations, I'm beginning to feel both annoyed AND out of breath.
Can we please respect the Pilgrims just a bit longer? Thank you.

An Oyly Thankmas
Upon seeing Christmas wreaths outside the Jewel this afternoon, I realize that Oyly is the only proper response. It combines that perfect exclamatory response to every circumstance -- Oy veh! -- with early. For indeed, oyly it is. (And whom do we see about that?)

The retailer's assault on my inbox and mailbox is starting early and aggressively this year. Everytime I check my emails I feel like I am accosted by a hundred third world beggar children tugging at my sleeve. "Thankmas"? That's a new one, but I am sadly not surprised.
Happy Thanksgiving!
