Some people pack away Halloween and go straight to Christmas. I strongly disagree, to put it gently.
I love Christmas, but Thanksgiving deserves its own season, and I’m embracing every bit of it. Give me the pumpkins, fall leaves and warm orange tones. There’s time for stockings later.
Right now, the turkey decor is staying out.
My TV is staying in Thanksgiving mode, too. Before Christmas movies take over, I want familiar characters, kitchen disasters and awkward Thanksgiving dinners.
“Planes, Trains and Automobiles” is my starting point, followed by Thanksgiving episodes of “Friends,” “Bob’s Burgers” and “The King of Queens.”
I put together this watch list to give Thanksgiving a little room every day leading up to the holiday.
