'The Holidays'

[NutCrackerr]

I have always thought of 'The Holidays' as that 2/3 week period of time towards the end of December when Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Years occurs. Is it acceptable to include Thanksgiving when you are talking about 'The Holidays', thus making 'The Holidays' a roughly 5 week period?

The Holidays officially begin before Halloween when department stores start rolling out their decorations. That always ticks me off /images/graemlins/mad.gif

Well I'll tell you right now that if you ask me if something should include Thanksgiving, I'm generally going to say yes.

Yup the Holidays run from the night before Thanksgiving which is a great party night until you turn off football and pass out on New Years Day.

And for some reason, that time period flies by faster than any other 5-6 weeks all year.

As we dont have thanksgiving I would say the last two weeks of December, I am finishing up 16th December this year until 2nd Jan will be weird being home so much in one go.
