Laughs in Canadian
You have no power here Santa, Thanksgiving has come and gone!
Curse you, you Syrup flavored bastid.
My local store already has Christmas decorations out. I freaking hate it so much
It should be illegal before the beginning of December
October 5 ours went up at work. July 24 was when Halloween showed up. I’m convinced dropping sales has pressured them to chase the holiday high of old, and their layoffs and cut hours simply don’t save enough to recover normally.
In fact, their sales are probably dropping BECAUSE they’re firing all of the people doing the selling and other work that facilitates selling.
Corporations reacting to a subpar quarter with mass layoffs is like a marathon runner reacting to a bad third mile by intentionally spraining their ankle.

Everybody forgets poor ol’ Saint Nicolas.
In my country, Saint Nicolas is celebrated way more than Halloween
My 4 year old kid says Halloween is better than Christmas. So I think you’re missing out.
You can still dress up as ghosts and ask people for candy they will just give you firecrackers instead
Traditionally kids do the rounds for candy on December 31th or on epiphany (three kings bringing gifts) around here. It depends on the region if one of those traditions is maintained.
In my area, kids receive money instead of candy when going to people and singing on Saint Nicolas, between Saint Nicolas and Christmas, before Christmas, on Christmas, after Christmas and on New Year day
I also know that different parts of my country do the same
I make a point of it.
I guess not everyone likes his helpers
I was shopping for parts for a Halloween costume at the beginning of the month. Christmas music was playing in the store.
Here’s the issue I have. The Winter solstice (Dec 22nd) marks the start of Winter. Christmas is 3 days later, yet people expect it to be in the middle of winter, so people keep trying to move the season up. Realistically they should be trying to celebrate it in late January rather than pushing it back into Autumn. But they had to go and steal Yule and then keep wanting more time.
Isn’t this practically the plot of The Nightmare Before Christmas?
P.S. I know it’s not, but it could be the plot of a gritty reboot. A bunch of Halloween mascots are fed up with how Christmas is overtaking all of fall so they declare “War on Christmas” I’d watch it. Unfortunately I imagine this would be like a Seth Rogan and James Franco movie a la Sausage Party but hey I’d still watch it
Nah, let’s get Christopher Nolan to make it and it becomes a mind-bending exploration of consumerism, pagan festivals and the death of innocence.
The war on Christmas…
The Defense Against Christmas.
Depends on your position on that. Special military operation to give Christmas back its rightful place in the year.
They should really start dividing the holidays over the rest of the year.
I’m a school bus driver and I had to ban the singing of Christmas songs on my bus before Thanksgiving. Naturally the little bastards ignore this, just like they ignore my injunction against singing Taylor Swift songs. Thank god T-Swiffer has never done a Christmas album.
Meh, I am scared enough this year.
I will set your polyester Santa suit on fucking fire.
🔫 Jack Skellington and the Castle Doctrine.
What is it with people trying to make the entirety of October into Halloween?
It’s one single night, it’s not a season. Is this the Americans trying to push it on us to increase our capitalist consumption or something? I see it a LOT these past few years.
What’s next, turning Easter into a month long extravaganza?
And what’s next after that? People having traditions and celebrating things the way they want to for their enjoyment? -___-
The tradition to fill landfills with plastic skeletons
I would gladly decorate with a real skeleton as they’re biodegradable non-petroleum products but my mom said I’m not allowed

What is it with people trying to turn the entirety of October, November, and December into Christmas?
It’s one single night, it’s not a season. Is this the Americans trying to push it on us to increase our capitalist consumption or something? I see it a LOT these past few years.
What’s next, celebrating other holidays in the actual month that they fall in?
LAST CHRISTMAS I GAVE YOU MY HEART
This October to save me from Wham I’m opening a can of whoop ass.
