It seems like Thanksgiving always sneaks up on me, I think it is because all the retail stores decorate for Halloween and quickly go right into the Christmas Holiday mode, many times before we even celebrate Halloween.
I'm afraid its part of our society's hurry up and get it done mentality so we can move on to the next project or job.
I'm not sure if it’s just a “California” thing, and our pace of life is faster than other parts of the country. It seems like when I visit our friends in Louisiana who are farmers, and busy, they seem to take time to enjoy life and family at a slower pace.
