Re-take GRE on Nov 9 while the first application deadline is on Dec1?

Last time I received my GRE scores 10 days after the test day. If I retake the test on Nov 9, I think I will get the result on Nov 20. 
However, I just fear that the result won't be sent to the schools on time because of Thanksgiving postal delay.

So, is it a good idea to retake the GRE this late? Or should I just stick with my old scores (154/162/4, major in humanities)?

Yes that's ok. Schools don't necessarily need your GRE schools by the deadline, they just need the rest of your application to be complete. They know people are still taking the GRE and they know that it can take 3 weeks for results to roll in. They'll just mark your application as submitted on time and then wait for your GRE scores to arrive.
