I'd tell them: "You've brought me up well.  You know that I wouldn't do
something that was wrong.  I know that when you were my age couples
didn't live together before they were married, but I've thought about
it and I fell that it is the right decision for me."

When you visit them for Thanksgiving, resign yourself to sleeping
separately, or rent a motel room if you can't survive apart for even a
single night.
