I hate that the "-ber" month holidays are at the end of the month and all clumped so close together

I am a big Christmas person. I still have personal boundaries and don't feel I can properly celebrate till Nov 1. Even so, there is a part of me that wishes American Thanksgiving could be sooner so I can fully get into the Xmas spirit. In a perfect world, Halloween would be early October, Thanksgiving would be early Nov.,.and then Xmas where it is so we can enjoy the Xmas season longer. And before anyone gets on my case, I know that I'm a grown adult and that I live in a free country to do as I please, but it doesn't feel the same to celebrate Christmas out of season. I just wish the season could be longer with the 2 prior holidays celebrated sooner. Surely I'm not alone in wishing this. And for those who love Halloween, you could in theory start celebrating after 4th of July or Labor Day to keep it equal to my preference for an extended Xmas season.

Edit to add: Regardless of who what why where when these days were set when, my wish still stands. Halloween and Thanksgiving would be better in the first week of Oct and Nov and I like where xmas is. That is my first world problem vent/wish/fantasy. I'm not here to debate exactly when or why the holidays are set that, my point is about wishing they were sooner so Christmas season people can enjoy it longer for reasons listed in original post above.

I was really looking forward to voting on Election day, but I remembered that I already voted my local Library.
