A Proposal for Stretching Thanksgiving Out

Michael Main has a fun suggestion in his post today for celebrating Thanksgiving one day early. Doing so, he said, helps Thanksgiving travelers to enjoy safer, less congested highways. And, those who do so--as his wife Amy and he do each year--are more rested and ready to face the shopping madness that is Black Friday.

Of course, if the idea catches on, all its vaunted advantages would vanish, meaning that we'd have to start celebrating Thanksgiving two days in advance. Hmmmm. If we play our cards right, we could could just take the year off.
