People in other countries do not celebrate Thanksgiving, or if they do, not the fourth Thursday in November.
Lots of people cannot get to WDW between the fourth Thursday in November and December 25th.

Sure would, but I don't think it's happening until 2014. If they didn't do it last year I don't see it happening this year with 7DMT still under construction.

I agree that the tree near the Hub was very picturesque (I have a very pretty pic of the castle and the tree with the tree reflecting in the Hub waterway).
But if I'm not mistaken, that spot is now the Wishes FP+ viewing location.

Yay! Very pretty. I'm happy they are doing this--if you remember, they used to decorate Toontown Fair at Christmas, so I'm glad they are replacing those decorations with something elsewhere.

Its a nice start, wouldnt mind seeing some garland or something along those barren concrete castle walls leading into new fantasyland

Yeah, this is a good first step. Now all that's left is to fully decorate Frontierland, Liberty Square, and Adventureland.
They could even clone some of the same decorations they use at Disneyland in Frontierland, Toontown, Critter Country, Adventureland and New Orleans Square. Or on Buena Vista Street, in Paradise Pier, and A Bug's Land.
But where to put the hubcap Christmas tree and the air filter garlands from Cars Land? Maybe out at the Hess service station near the MK parking lot?

Ooowwww, the MK can be so pretty when it applies classic restraint to the MK's mature, stylish look!

Are the Christmas and fall decorations on Main street always the same every year?

This. In Canada Thanksgiving is early to mid October. We never have to worry about the whole "Thanksgiving before X-mas" issue.

At least two local Publix plazas and Crossroads had their outdoor Christmas decorations up by November 2. It's unnerving, but it's hardly unique to WDW.

I agree its not unique on WDW.
Walmart here does it worse..
Halloween is not even done and they already have the Christmas section up..
infact, they had set up the christmas one around October 15...

So Canadians put their Christmas decorations up for 3 months of the year?

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
Nope.
Thanksgiving is always the second Monday of October, so anywhere between the 8th and the 14th. Our Thanksgiving isn't linked to Christmas, as it is for the U.S.
Christmas season starts after Hallowe'en. There is a move afoot to encourage Canadians to hold off putting up decorations until after the 11th of November, Remembrance Day.
Generally though, most people don't put up lights and trees until the beginning of December. An early major snowfall however, will often accelerate this date for some.
