I get maybe it’s a little early but so far I’ve heard nobody wish each other a good thanksgiving

I feel like people are not in the mood for the holidays right now. Anecdotal observation: I had to call 8 somewhat random people today as we have a business deal closing right after thanksgiving and not one said anything about thanksgiving. I felt like this was odd and when I wished them a good thanksgiving they would reply with an “oh yeah. You too”. My DH said he noticed the same thing. Halloween was also quiet and it seemed like nobody cared but I chalked it up to it falling on a weekday.

Maybe it’s just you. I got a Happy Tday today and yesterday. Halloween was it’s normal rambunctious day. All around awesome.

It’s Monday. For many people, the next two days are business days. That’s like you being all shocked that no one is saying Happy Friday or “have a good weekend” on a Wednesday.

A few people said it to me today and yesterday too. My dry cleaner is closed for the week.

I disagree. A lot of people do take off early and the holiday occurs once a year not every week so it’s more special.

I was out of town for Halloween so can’t speak to that but I got tons of happy Thanksgivings over the weekend.

I'm a therapist with mostly weekly clients. I mentioned holidays to Thursday/Friday clients a couple weeks ago and last week said "Have a good holiday!" to the people I won't see this week. This week, aka today, I have said "Have a good holiday!" to everyone I've met with, mostly in response to them saying it first.

I would not say it on a Monday to someone I was also seeing Tuesday and Wednesday, though. I agree that it's more of a signing off for the weekend thing.

Well wait until the day before the holiday to get the reaction you are so desperately seeking.

Are you saying you only wish people happy holidays the day before even if you know you’ll not see them the rest of the week?

I think holidays have become so politicized that people are afraid to say happy whatever
