Say it ain't so....

How can it be that it is only November 20th and families already have their Christmas trees permantly displayed in their family/living rooms? What happened to the good 'ole days when families would put up the tree on Thanksgiving or the weekend after the big feast? I've also noticed that there are lights, still scenes, and now 10' snow globes in the front yards. We live in Minnesota and don't have snow, yet the snow globes are in rare form. I am ALL for the decor but it just seems be getting earlier and earlier. As I write this, I feel like Scrooge.... That's not it at all. I'm just wondering why we have to set this stuff up & out SO early?

On that note... when does your family set up their Christmas tree? Do you have any family traditions around Thanksgiving?

Peace,
