I don't know why we don't move Thanksgiving to October. There is literally no reason to keep so close to Christmas. It would solve all of our problems to simply change the date. It would still be fall, and we could have a season of gratitute without it being pushed out by Christmas.
I just went to Walmart today and bought some Thanksgiving decorations for the little table in our living room, and I got all of it for less than a dollar because they were setting up Christmas stuff.
I love a real tree when we're in the States; my husband HATES it. He actually thinks we shouldn't even decorate for Christmas while we're in the States because we open presents at my parents' house. The last time we were home, we seriously had the worst fight we've had in years over putting up a tree! In the Philippines, we use a fake tree because they don't grow Christmas trees there.
