<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Last week I found myself giving a lecture on why Christmas music<i style="font-weight: bold;"> isn't</i> played before Thanksgiving to an administrator at my daughter's pre-school.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Don't get me wrong; I love Christmas. I have <i style="font-weight: bold;">buckets</i> of Christmas decorations that my husband dutifully hauls down from the attic each year. I have <i style="font-weight: bold;">hundreds </i>of Christmas songs in my iTunes list. My Christmas cookies can beat the shit out of the Pillsbury doughboy's Christmas cookies. I have Christmas shirts and I have magnets that go on the car (Yes, I am that goofball.) I say "Merry Christmas" not "Happy Holidays."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But I do all of this <i style="font-weight: bold;">AFTER</i> Santa Claus comes town at the end of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. In America, that is the beginning of the Christmas season. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The key to that phrase, I have found, is "in America." Did you know, that it is impossible, for me as a white woman, to <i style="font-weight: bold;">not</i> sound like a redneck while beginning a sentence with "In America…"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But that is the key phrase IN MIAMI, and NOT BEING HISPANIC. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My daughter's daycare, which I love, is very hispanic. Sam comes home saying "Agua" and "Caca", not "Water" and "Poo-poo".</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes we Americans forget that Thanksgiving is an AMERICAN holiday. It feels like a religious holiday to me. It's Christmas without the presents. You have the 3 F's: Family, Friends and Food; and it's a time to be thankful for the blessings in your life. It's a purer form of Christmas really. A more sacred holiday, though technically a secular holiday.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">For immigrants to this country who came over late enough to have not been raised with the diluted history of pilgrims, turkey and indians, and without the tradition of family, food and thankfulness, it just seems to be in the way. If you aren't American, then Thanksgiving doesn't get in the way and the Christmas season seems to start earlier.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So I understand. I get it. But you are still wrong and stop playing "Feliz Navidad" in Novemember. Why are you wrong? Because I'm writing this in Miami. And though it is commonly thought to be the northern annexed territory of Cuba, Miami is technically "In America." And "while in Rome, do as the Romans do." We are <i style="font-weight: bold;">In America.</i> Please respect our first, and most sacred National Holiday. Please respect Thanksgiving. </span>The not-so-stay-at-home Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14700302859574912220noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489676521783959942.post-29175295460508417432013-11-05T17:19:00.001-05:002013-11-05T17:19:20.001-05:00THE WHEELS ON THE BUS!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My Grandpa Craven had trained "Tag" well.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Tag could do all sorts of tricks, but he was especially good at playing dead. Not only would he roll over, but he would let out his air and hold still. Grandpa Craven and tag were so proud of themselves, it got to the point that Grandpa could just say, "Tag, do your favorite trick," and Tag would roll over and play dead.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">One day, my very proper Grandma Craven was playing Bridge with her friends, or having a ladies meeting of some sort (She was highly social). One of the ladies mentioned hearing that Tag could do all sorts of tricks. Grandpa puffed up, and hollered to Tag, who was nearby, "Tag, do your favorite trick." And Tag sat down and licked his balls. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So Mark comes in to the bedroom holding Sam this past weekend, looking very pleased with himself. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">He asks her, "Sam, what does the Bunny say?" and Sam replies with a burp, a hiccup and says "MEOW."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">He<i style="font-weight: bold;"> HAD </i>taught her that the Bunny wiggles its nose. And she knows that the lion "ROARS" and a few others, but her favorite is that darn cat. And she does a great, elongated "MEOW."</span>The not-so-stay-at-home Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14700302859574912220noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489676521783959942.post-56129704936465331552013-10-12T19:51:00.001-04:002013-10-12T19:51:21.857-04:00PINECREST GARDENS<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
