Thanksgiving: Overused and abused ideas

by James M. Gibbs

The actual concept of Thanksgiving, the holiday and the celebration has been around for centuries, literally. During this time, the subject has been run into the ground. Stories have been written, plays have been acted out, shows have been on television and more.

Thanksgiving, like Christmas and so many other holidays, has been overused and abused. For years now, these holidays have been commercialized.
