Respect the Bird!
Thanksgiving
is my favorite holiday. A day dedicated to football, family, food, and
giving thanks. Somehow this great American feast has avoided all the
corporate commercialism that’s tainted the rest of our holidays.
However,
while Thanksgiving itself has remained relatively pure, each year it
seems the Christmas shopping season overlaps T-day a little more. We all
grumble, but no one does anything about it. Well, that was until Doug
Matthews came along.
A
subsequent national survey found that 82 percent of home cooks think
Christmas is marketed too early, which results in the Thanksgiving
holiday getting less attention than it deserves.
