Just a couple nights ago, I heard a number of new fresh{men,women} and
a few sophmores singing Christmas carols (Twelve Days of Christmas and
Jingle Bells) in the Infinite Corridor at MIT.  I've heard a rumour
that there's a conspiracy afoot to swap the dates of Thanksgiving and
Christmas.  Does anyone other than myself see a connection between
this and the Crazy Eddie Christmas sale in August commercials??  Can
anyone confirm this?
