For as far back as I can remember (40-50 years), Thanksgiving was the official family kickoff for Christmas decorating. I try to always put up something on Thanksgiving (usually while listening to Alice's restaurant).

The classic rock station in our fair city will be playing Arlo's ode to Thanksgiving all day Thursday, hopefully the live version as well. To this day, my kids still remember when I introduced them to the Alice's Restaurant Massacree on vinyl. A Thanksgiving tradition was born.
