What Owen said basically... I prefer to try for an early date and reschedule to a later date if I must. Aiming for a later date leaves little window to deal with surprises other than to miss the target date. Its almost never bad to come in a few days early, but it is rarely good to come in late.
Finally, Thanksgiving in the US is very unpredictable for vacations and thus a few days earlier guarantees more eyes.
