They can make more money by starting earlier? I don’t think that Thanksgiving is a huge cash cow for that sort of thing, so they try to get people into the “Christmas spirit” earlier.

At least Halloween is a big money maker, so they won’t try to push it up an earlier than the beginning of November.

Well, let’s at least hope that never happens - but I wouldn’t bet against it
