Well, moving into a new house is worth foregoing some early traditions for one year! And think of next year and how beautiful everything is going to be as you pick up things for Christmas along the way all year long if you want, to go well in your new home. Some people still don't decorate until the week of Christmas or Christmas Eve. In a way, I sort of envy those who don't really start the season until later. Think of all that Christmas spirit and decorating compressed until just a week or so - the intensity of all that in just a few days of hustling and scurrying around in a Holiday daze. It can be lots of fun that way - hectic but fun! That's how we used to do it when I was a kid - a week or two AFTER Thanksgiving and we didn't have time to kind of get used to it. Still, nowadays, I kind of like to get it all done early and relax and enjoy it those last two weeks.
