Is it too early?

I've always been saddened by the leap-frogging the retail industry insists on doing with Christmas that has now mixed the shelves with halloween candy and stockings alike. Each holiday should get its time and its place. But lately I've been reconsidering this idea...





I still don't want to see Jolly St Nick along side ghosts and goblins but the idea of having the Christmas decorations up for Thanksgiving celebrations seems appealing. The biggest reason being.... I don't own Thanksgiving decorations. I've never had a need. No one has ever been at my house for this holiday.

And so... I might have to re-think my stance on this subject. After a recent interest in extending fugality to minimalism, I don't want to buy/make Thanksgiving decor. At least not for this year. And it seems sad not to have a decorated house for the festivities.

So... here's my start to the holiday decorating. In November. And I'm okay with that.
