Usually, all the hard work of the is finished by
Christmas there is nothing to do but chores But
at Thanksgiving there is generally some to husk
lot of odd jobs that have to be attended to as
possible And we have only one day at Thanks
giving anyway, and the only thing gets time to do
is eat. But Christmas there is at least week OF
