Why is Thanksgiving so close to Christmas instead of them spacing the two holidays out?

Early-mid October to the end of December? That IS fairly spaced out! At least it is in Canada. Americans seem to have put them much closer together for some reason.

Don't err in thinking the U.S. is the only place in the world that celebrates Thanksgiving. In Canada, we have it on the 2nd Monday of October, after the meeting of Martin Frobisher & his crew with Algonquin natives at the foot of Frobisher Bay in 1536, 84 years pre-dating the U.S. event.

It's not. In Canada thanksgiving was October 12th. The UK don't even celebrate thanksgiving.

It's when it is because of what it commemorates. That's said, it isn't spaced too close but evenly, with Halloween coming before it by about the same amount of time.
