Do you feel a little alone in your Thanksgiving festivities? Do you frequently check your calendar thinking that perhaps Thanksgiving came and went and somehow you missed it? Have you looked in vain for candy corn to enjoy during your Thanksgiving celebration only to find a giant stuffed reindeer sitting on the last bag? Take heart! Nordstrom is on your side. And, I might add, differentiating itself from its competition quite nicely. This year, signs on their doors read:

From our family to yours,
Happy Thanksgiving.
We like celebrating one holiday at a time, so you won't find our halls decked until Friday, November 26.
Join us then, when we open our doors to a festive new season.
We'll be closed Thanksgiving Day.

Marketing tip: Start planning your holiday marketing far in advance. It's a big job! But consider a little Thanksgiving marketing, too. One holiday at a time. You won't look as greedy and you'll stand out from the crowd.
