Colin: This is Parent Hacks, remember? We don't plan very far ahead. :)
I find it hard to even THINK about Thanksgiving before Halloween. Both because there's plenty to keep me busy with Halloween prep, but also because I resent the accelerated holiday schedule that seems to get a little faster each year. It's like my brain refuses to take part in the hype until it feels right, even if that forces me to do a bit of last-minute scrambling.

Actually, I was referring the fact that where I come from Thanksgiving is celebrated in October.

Colin: Aha! I just assumed something completely off the mark! Happy belated Thanksgiving. :)
