Why do we start the christmas season right after Thanksgiving?

it has nothing to do with religion - it is a retailing / media hype.\nwe are the sheep who follow their lead.

Christmas for sure. I like Christmas better because you get to see all the decorations in your neighborhood, and everyone has that special happiness in them. Also, just like Thanksgiving you get to spend time with your family; you also get to enjoy giving and getting gifts. =]

I think the day after Thanksgiving is the way to go. That way you observe Thanksgiving and have the most time to enjoy your Christmas decorations. Merry Christmas!!!

there are more traditions for christmas like santa and reindeer and snow but thanksgiving has nothing. what are u gonna sing about turkey and leaves...most christmas songs are not about the real story except a few so if u want thanksgiving songs there not gonna be about being thankful

The truth is that the 12 days of Christmas begin on December 25 and end on January 6 which is the feast of the Epiphany.  Christmas is actually a season as well as a day, a season that last 12 days!  :)

It's just tradition, that is all. Plus Santa is a good way to curve behavior around the end of the year.

Thanksgiving is a day that we set aside here in America to give thanks to God for the bountiful blessings that He has bestowed upon us.  It is the Harvest season and we also give thanks for a abundant harvest that we have.  We give thanks for family, friends and this wonderful country that we live in. \nThe first Thanksgiving was when the Native Americans(Indians) and Pilgrims had a feast to celebrate the wonderful harvest that they had.

Well, theres three schools of thought here, the first of which I am a member of.  (Dates assume you observe Christmas Western Christian....Eastern Orthodox is a couple weeks later).\n\n1. New Years Day (give or take).  This allows you and your neighbors to enjoy the decorations an extra week, and allows your to symbolically put away the old year with the decorations.\n\n2.  Jan 5.  This allows you to celebrate the 12 days of Christmas equally.\n\n3.  July 4.  Hey, 7.2 million lazy hillbillies can't be wrong.\n\nHope you benefit from the answers!

I see this question so much. I have wondered myself when the correct time is. I for one have not been able to celebrate Christmas for the past 20 years, and this will be my first one. I am SO excited and can barely stand to wait. And then I stopped and thought about it. Why is there a "correct" time? Why do we care so much about what others think? And why do people have such a fit if someone puts their decorations up early? What if that person only had a few weeks to live? No one knows anyone elses circumstances, we shouldnt judge! The correct time is any time we want to. It hurts no one. Life is short. Sometimes far too too short. Put your tree up when you want to. Turn up the Christmas carols and enjoy! Celebrate!

No, you're wrong.  Thanksgiving has been here since Labor Day.  CHRISTmas has been here since Halloween.

The day after Thanksgiving became known as Black Friday because it was the day retailers got out of the red and into the black and began making a profit for the year. These days retailers are expected to make a profit long before the end of the year.

If your are asking about season 3... the last two seasons were released right before Thanksgiving for the Christmas rush. Season 3 will probably be the same.

I have just started a new job, and I will probably have to work Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years...and my parents live out of state. \nWe usually have Thanksgiving dinner together, go out Christmas Eve night to look at Christmas lights, and stay up together to watch the ball drop on tv for New Years. \nI don't think that I will get to do any of those things. (You'd think that since Katrina, employers would know the value of being with family, especially because we couldn't do it last year...but apparently not.)\nOh well...there's always next year, isn't there?\n\nCome to think about it...I cooked Thanksgiving dinner last year for the first time ever, and since I will probably be doing the same this year, maybe I am following a tradition (if the second time makes it a tradition) or starting one of my own.
