Christmas Before Thanksgiving

What is it about wanting to put up the Christmas tree and the trimmings before Thanksgiving even gets here? Over the past three years that is just how I have felt. Its not like I have a house full of kids, or married, its just me and my cat. But is makes me happy to get the decoration up, crazy I know. I love giving gifts, I can't spend lots of money, but I try to shop most of the year so I can give to all awesome people I care about. What about you, what do you like about Christmas? What traditions have to and your family have. I broke an tradition after 59 years, have always had a green tree, and this nyear I have a white one, and just love it...
