What Happened to Thanksgiving?

When Halloween passed and the stores emptied their shelves of costumes, candy, and caldrons, the fall décor disappeared too. Garlands bearing silk leaves of varying shades of red, green, and gold have been replaced with pine wreathes and bright colored bows.

What happened to Thanksgiving I wonder – the holiday in late November? “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” now plays over the department store intercom. Will anyone be home for Thanksgiving?
