HOLIDAY
Thanksgiving cheers and jeers

Cheers to football, family and free food.

Jeers to the official beginning of Christmas shopping.

Cheers for a holiday that hasn’t been swallowed up by commercialism ... too much.

Jeers for stores that put up their Christmas junk the day after Halloween.

Cheers for thankfulness.

Jeers for gluttony.

Cheers to stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, Mom’s green bean casserole and pumpkin pie. You don’t need turkey to make a meal.

Jeers for having almost no Thanksgiving songs.

Cheers for professors who are not having class on Wednesday because they realize students need time with their families (and they need to be with theirs).

Jeers to the university for not giving students Wednesday off so they can get home.

Cheers for Texas vs. A&M.

Jeers to being forced to watch the awful Detroit Lions play.

Cheers to a small break before the chaos of finals envelops us all.

Jeers for busy airports and pushy people.

Cheers to extended family close enough to spend Thanksgiving with when your immediate family is too far away.

Jeers to that cousin who wears way too much cologne and always sits next to you.

Cheers to bringing the family together and having tons of good food.

Can you honestly have a jeer about Thanksgiving? Cheers!
