As with most things here, and everywhere else, you forgot “in the US”.

I feel like the qualifier is not necessary for this statement. Not everything needs that level of classification lmao. It reaches “I use arch BTW” levels after a while.

November? My local Home Depot was selling Christmas decorations on September 29th. There should be a law…

If I ever become the ruler of the world, I’m making a law that every month gets one major holiday, and that holiday shall be confined to that month.

That’s 13 major holidays, plus New Years (and Leap Day) since I’d also be forcing everyone to use a better calendar.

'Sounds sensible. What’s your take on climate change? (Maybe I’ll write you in on my US ballot.) 😀

A ballot cast for, “Make It Stop,” is certainly the only truly sensible choice.

With 6-day weeks (which have their own set of advantages) you can have 12 perfect 5-week months and an extra leap week that dissappears every 8 years

Craft stores make sense. You need to buy supplies before the season

After working retail for the holiday season as a younger person, and seeing how that started in October…then working in the beer industry, watching seasonal creep pushing those beer releases ever earlier (combined with the ramp up and logistics meaning that we were in full on “get ready for Oktoberfest” mode by mid-April

I think I was just totally burnt out of any capacity for seasonal creep outrage a decade ago.

I saw a Christmas display while grocery shopping this week. Didn’t even register as odd, let alone annoying. Which is saying something, coming from me, who tends to treat getting annoyed about random shit as a sort of relaxing pastime.

It’s been like that for years in the UK where Halloween isn’t such a big thing. It’s usually the last week of August for most shops to start getting stuff out.

Christmas decorations have been out since mid-September.

In New Zealand, they put out the Christmas decorations as early as Spring.

The shitty thing is that they take down the Halloween decorations to put them up like excuse me I fuckin need those - disposable stuff gets bought the month of, not 3 months out.I throw a Halloween party but I don’t have room to put all that consumable stuff around my apartment for months in advance.
