My husband used to be the type that got annoyed by Christmas in November. But he had our Christmas lights up 2 weeks before Thanksgiving because our 5 year old daughter asked him to and was so excited about it. Christmas makes people happy, let them enjoy it!

Where I come from, it's just warmer in November so nicer to put them up. Our Thanksgiving is in October though so I'm covered either way.

I did the same thing, but for my wife. She gets pretty bad seasonal affective disorder, and on top of that had a shitty couple of months at work and health-wise. I surprised her by putting up so the lights while she was at work 2 weeks ago. It was the best decision; looking at the lights really helped her SAD, and multiple dog walking neighbors commented to me while I was doing some yard work how much they enjoyed seeing them (our house is very visible entering the neighborhood).
