The second week of October, my local Home Depot was playing fucking Christmas music. Just trying to make some small talk with the obviously unhappy cashier, she told me (it was 915am at the time) ‘I got here at 830, and I’m working til close today. I might kill myself before December if I have to listen to this for two months every day.’

It’s fucking bleak out there folks. ,

My local Lowes was the same, they had both Christmas junk and Halloween junk out in the outdoor section and only left two narrow-ass paths between all the single-use garbage.

Working on my theory where I correlate the declining rate of profit to the earliest moment that Christmas decorations start coming out each year.

Eventually christmas will become a year round corporation holiday. I remember ‘Christmas in July’ where TBS would show shit like A Christmas Story and othee stuff during the summer. Its what the corporate world is gunning for. January? Christmas. June? Christmas. MLK day? No, but we got Santy Claus.

I hate to sound like a fucking boomer but im actually old enough to remember a lapse in holiday decoration between Christmas/Turkey Day/Halloween. They used to have some separation there despite their proximity.

Corporate just flat out skips the existence of "Thanksgiving" outside of the monetary opportunity to dupe poor Americans into thinking they're getting a great deal on whatever shit product they're dumping on black Friday

thanksgiving is colonizer bullshit anyway

Should just be replaced with Second Halloween

Replace all holidays with Halloweens, the best holiday

[–] ikiru@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I'm totally cool with skipping Thanksgiving to extend Christmas.

It's a shame it only means extending shopping, not decorations or time off though.

It is, but also ham

[–] Melonius@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Halloween decorations still up here. I am genuinely considering leaving them up until Christmas. Might add some discount skeletons to let everyone know I'm serious.

The war on Halloween is real.

They don't defrost her. She just appears one day. A crack opens up in the earth and she emerges. Only fools stand in her way.

my neighbors have a massive inflatable Grinch on their front lawn, it's so tacky

the lights and stuff are cool but the corporate merchandise is so cringe
