The supermarket has yams and canned pie filling on sale, Haverhill traffic is all jammed up ’cause of the Christmas Parade featuring Santa with a very seasonal Dixieland Band, every fire truck within a 25 mile radius and the Pequossette High School Marching Gnomes playing “The Devil went Down to Georgia” with a rousing brass section!
On the corner is a tattered tent with AL Championship T-shirts and Sweats at 80% off and some really inexpensive World Series Championship shirts with obscene slogans (children’s sizes are only $3.00!)
And, right across the street from Joe’s “Native Pizza” Variety, are the Three Wise Men made of coat hangers and wound with colored lights offering colorfully wrapped gifts to the glow-in-the-dark Baby Jesus.
You’ve got to love Thanksgiving!
Love John
