If you think Christmas started way to early this year – you’re not alone...

Bah humbug - for now...

Stroll through any department store and you’re bound to see the halls decked and hear holiday music – unless you’re in Nordstrom. At this classic department store you won’t see Christmas decorations until AFTER Thanksgiving. Their in-store sign is making the rounds on social networking posts and getting a lot of “likes.” A tradition they started a few years ago, it reads: We won’t be decking our halls until Friday, November 27. Why? Well, we just like the idea of celebrating one holiday at a time. From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving. Nordstrom will be closed on Thanksgiving, and open on Friday all decked out.

Now that Black Friday is creeping into Thursday for a lot of retailers, it seems to be losing some of its mass appeal. A recent survey found about 87 percent of Americans do NOT buy the majority of their gifts on Thanksgiving weekend – and 51 percent wait until the week before Christmas.
