November? It’s late August in the UK.

How moronic. You can buy christmas stuff 2 months before christmas but not clothes in-season.

They have year-round Christmas stores in some places. Just nothing but Christmas stuff for sale 365 days a year. I always wonder about people who go to such stores in April or May.

The only thing I could think of is people that film stuff, as if you want to make a Christmas episode or movie, you will have to film it way in advanced in order to release it on Christmas.

I don’t know that much filming goes on in Gladewater, Texas.

And that is the tip of the bizarre iceberg.

Christmas starts in August. It’s disgusting. Whenever I point these things out everyone thinks I hate Christmas. I really don’t. Christmas joy can’t last half a year it’s unreasonable. To counter it i only put my tree up 2 weeks before Christmas. I’m not gonna spend all day in Christmas land everywhere then coming home to it.

When I was a kid my family put up the tree the Saturday after Thanksgiving (US), and took it down January 1, all as a family fun thing. I still do that.

“only” 2 weeks? What is normal where you live? When we still had a tree (when I was a kid) it got put up on the 24th

Putting all that effort to decorate a tree for a day sounds ridiculous.

It stayed up for usually around 2 weeks after that, depending on how quickly it started losing lots of needles

I can feel it, a change in the air, the water runs colder… It’s October. But it feels like it’s about to be Christmas. I can’t help but notice the sensation, warmth yet fridged, the desire for a cup of cider by a warm fire… Even stores have started putting up winter light displays… Do not tell me the old magic has lost it’s affect on you young ones, close your eyes, breath deep of Christmas Magic…

First time seeing this symbol, what does it mean?

(Because it almost looks like an AI generated pentagram lmao)

It’s meant to represent a failed attempt to resist evil; I needed some kind of sigil to ward off malign wholesomeness, and it occurred to me I could use this - on the side of evil.
