We love Thanksgiving in October. It has already snowed and been -15C overnight so November really is not a month in which I feel thankful for much of anything, except when it's over and finally December so we can all put our Christmas decorations up. We are allowed to hang up our outdoor lights in November before it gets really cold, but we are not allowed to turn them on until December 1st. Because that is just wrong.

So, now in my family, we just shake our heads sadly when we see them up and say, "There goes another baby reindeer." And when it snowed here in St. Louis last week and people were going insane about it snowing "so early!" I saw a meme that said, "Snow in November happens because people prematurely decorate for Christmas." It made me laugh.<br /><br />But I understand your reasons and won't judge you too harshly.
