we need the lights this time of year
but the music?thanksgiving was a holiday made up by abe lincoln to give the country a bit of a morale boost
it was originally in october (duh - harvest in new england end of Nov.?)
then my dear FDR changed it to november in an attempt to trigger an economic boost by getting people to shop earlier
bingo
