Running my next half on turkey day. 2 more long runs and 4 runs of about 5 miles then the half.

Will I have time to break in new shoes for the race?

I think so. if the shoes are the right shoes, they wont take a lot of breaking in. That much running before the race, you will know if there are any hot spots or seam lines that cause any discomfort.

The first time you do something - It's going to be a personal record!

I agree with Scott.  One suggestion would be for the long runs - consider running loops so that if there is a problem with the shoes you can stop and swap them out.  you don't want to have to run 10 miles in pain and risk injury before the race.
