Holiday Creep

It’s Thanksgiving again. The holiday that society forgot, what with it being sandwiched in between Halloween and Christmas. You don’t see any Thanksgiving displays in yards – or in stores that don’t sell groceries, for that matter.

Cats don’t go much for Thanksgiving. Too many people, too many strange smells. But some cats do go for the Thanksgiving table decorations!

But there’s one place where absolutely nobody forgets Thanksgiving: college. Students are so enthused about Thanksgiving that they start to pour out of their classes on Monday … or the Friday before! In previous years, the college has cancelled classes on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. This was presumably done so we don’t have to teach about a third of the students in each Wednesday class and then re-teach the stuff to the other two thirds of the class the following week.

This year, though, the college forgot to cancel classes for students the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. This includes classes on Wednesday night, too.

Whoops!

But anyway, Happy Thanksgiving!
