Lol Gigi, our November has: 16th - DH's b'day, 19th - dog's b'day (we kinda celebrate with him lol), 26th - my b'day, 28th - wedding anniversary. We just lump it all together! It's usually not so bad, I don't even start to consider Christmas til mid-December. But if we host next year I figured our house better look the part! We've never hosted before so have almost zero decorations and just a tiny tree (til today, the new one is 7.5ft hehehe ).
