In order to preserve the special nature of pumpkin pie, I think it should only be eaten in November.
Whenever I see it in stores before November 1st, I have to cringe, mutter words of disgust under my breath, post my annoyance on facebook, and talk to the store manager. I mean, really– pumpkin pie is only for Thanksgiving!
We can only celebrate one holiday at a time, so eating something that unique to Thanksgiving before the allotted time to be thankful just skips over all the other very important holidays. I can’t get over how people seem to have no common courtesy for Columbus Day. October 14th, people! We can’t start planning our Halloween costumes and parties before that vastly historically significant day has been given its full commemoration.
It is physically and mentally impossible to think about giving thanks while paying tribute to some other hugely extraordinary event. So next time you see a pumpkin pie in the grocery store before November, do something about it! Let your angry voice be heard! Spread the importance of only celebrating one holiday at a time! Say no to simultaneous celebrations!
haha Lind you are too funny.
I’m actually really proud of this post. I think it’s my favorite I’ve ever written.
The pumpkin-ness limited to pie, right? You don’t have anything against pumpkin chocolate chip cookies before November, do you?
Love reading your blog!
Haha no Aria! This is a total satire! I hope that was obvious. I am 100% all about celebrating any and all holidays 365 days a year. And no single day should go without pie.
