I recently republished an article about improving staff morale for the holidays and a (non-American) reader wondered why morale needed improving since everyone was already in bright spirits during that time.<br /><br />I had also said something about not doing anything at all for the holidays for fear of offending is the worst offense.<br /><br />The poor, innocent dear was baffled about how decorations could offend.<br /><br />I am with you, day after Thanksgiving - even when we lived in Upper Michigan - had a brave, resourceful husband then.Alexandra Heephttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00835198200027459295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18969221.post-18246960029194092252011-11-14T10:31:11.975-05:002011-11-14T10:31:11.975-05:00hahaa! Girl, I was going to post, but you SO said it. All of it. Especially the part about why you wanted to barf up tinsel. For real. We always wait until after our turkey day... but I mean the day we eat turkey, not the day that is marked as turkey day on the calender. For example.... we had turkey with my family yesterday. Today is the Man&#39;s b-day but I still want to send him into the attic for our christmas decor.

Really, any fairly nice (comfortably glove-free) weekend in November gets this event--I mean officially--all the neighbors come out at once because you KNOW it might be the only chance. But I, too, prefer to leave the carols until after Thanksgiving. I like the house decorating on that long weekend after Thanksgiving. A normal weekend has too much regular stuff that needs doing.Hart Johnsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18969221.post-7517587033556900662011-11-14T08:32:39.838-05:002011-11-14T08:32:39.838-05:00Santa is awesome.

Thanks for the green light to give Santa a high-five in the season, I&#39;ve kind of missed the old chap, but the old christian in me was fighting with the new Pagan and Santa just got shuffled off to the side. Now I feel better giving him a ring side seat to the whole show.Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15769610505748900163noreply@blogger.com
