I think she did it because of the unwritten rule that Chrismas decorations (especially trees) are not allowed to be put up until the weekend after Thanksgiving at the earliest.

Gene Honda Civic Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Here's a question... Every year gas prices jump at labor day because of "increased demand" Tomorrow is the unquestioned busiest travel day of the year? Do cars run on stuffing at Thanksgiving? Cuz gas prices never react to meet the "increased demand" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuz gas prices never react to meet the "increased demand" Yes, it's the busiest travel day of the year...but I don't believe it's the busiest day for oil consumption. It's the biggest in terms of numbers moving. But a lot of those are carpools, or packed planes, or whole families going places. Plus, there's no increased demand because of people using air conditioners at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercy! Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I think she did it because of the unwritten rule that Chrismas decorations (especially trees) are not allowed to be put up until the weekend after Thanksgiving at the earliest. Thanksgiving is becoming a forgotten holiday... At least a week ago, when I was walking around my neighborhood on the NW side of Chicago, I was stunned (started talking to myself, actually) to see how many Christmas (or whatever) trees were already up and decorated inside people's homes. I guess this is nothing new, but it's really getting crazy. Might as well put them up right after Labor Day and be done with it. Oh, and the tie in with the thread topic, is that I was walking around my neighborhood. Got rid of my car 4 years ago. Don't know what the cost of gasoline is. Yep. I'll admit to feeling a trace of moral superiority. Until the first really big snowfall that people don't clear from the sidewalks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
