A couple days ago I went into one of my classes at school, and realized that my teacher had decorated her room. It was already decorated for Christmas. Suddenly I got mad because I figured that my teacher had forgotten about the Pilgrims. The ones that gave you and your friends freedom in the beginning. I am related to one of the leaders of the Mayflower which led the Pilgrims here to America. I was offended about the fact that there are already Christmas decorations when it is November when we should be getting ready for Thanksgiving. Does Thanksgiving not mean anything to the American people anymore? I don't like the fact that even the stores are playing Christmas music, displaying Christmas decorations, and putting up Christmas sales. It's not that I don't like Christmas or anything, I love Christmas! I love celebrating the birth of my savior Jesus Christ. But, I don't think that we should forget those many men and women that came across the seas to make it here to America, and to give us freedom of religious worship.
Please take those Christmas decorations down, put up Thanksgiving decorations. Give Thanks to the Pilgrims. Santa did not cross the seas in agony to give you rights, the Pilgrims did. Celebrate Thanksgiving.
