Thanksgiving is upon us. The leaves are starting to bronze and fall with the autumn winds. Exams are piling up and essay deadlines are looming in the background. But at the end of this tunnel, is the smell of a beautiful home-cooked meal, the warm embrace of family and friends and the sound of music. (No pun intended.)

Last holiday season, I received a number of text messages on Christmas Day from several of my friends wishing me a Merry Christmas. I was surprised by this because if my last name is any indication, I do not celebrate Christmas.

The final week of the fall 2008 semester included numerous holiday celebrations and performances. Carriage rides carried students around campus on Wednesday, Dec. 3. For the first time, President Ayers hosted a winter wonderland celebration at his home. His backyard was transformed into a dining area with desserts and appetizers, sheltered underneath a large decorated (and heated) tent. The synchronized swimming team performed in front of hundreds at its annual holiday show in the Natatorium on Thursday and Friday nights. And the a capella groups came together in the Tyler Haynes Commons for their annual holiday show.

Look around everyone; we don't have any reasons to be thankful. It's really cold outside, there's tons of schoolwork to do and geese are taking over the grass in front of the library. We don't even have holidays that stand for something noble. There are two holidays coming up: the second most drunken day of the year (Thanksgiving) and the most commercialized day of our miserable capitalist lives (Christmas). Congratulations to America for eating Thanksgiving and Christmas and pooping out gluttony and materialism. That's an awkward image, to be true, but completely apt.
