fuck off, it's not even halloween yet.  i love you, santa, but i don't want to see your fat jolly ass until december.  so kindly just kringle yourself right back to the north fucking pole.  you take over other holidays and overstay your welcome, so now nobody feels special--including you.  how can i enjoy christmas if i'm sick of it before it's even started?  and also if i'm pissed at it for trying to get all involved in my halloween.  the time for revenge on the guys from "the nightmare before christmas" is long over, you've made your point, now please wait your goddamn turn.  get out of my radio, off of my tv, and off of my walmart shelves.  i want to see candy corn and costumes in october, not gingerbread and jingle bells. 

 

signed, gator

 

p.s. i hope this doesn't put me on the naughty list.  i have been very good this year

p.p.s. but seriously, fuck off

I think Nightmare before Christmas was inspired by the Xmas Invasion, because Tim Buton got the idea by seeing the juxtaposition of ghouls and vampires next to colorful trees and cheery elves in a store near Halloween. 

Its the only thing that keeps me sane during this time because I really hate when Xmas spills everywhere. It's cute and fabulous in its own tacky way, but Jesus Christ let me be morose and spooky for one October before you fuck me 2 months straight in the ass with your candy cane commercialism, Santa!!

1) Christmas stuff starts showing up in some stores around labor day, four months before Christmas.
2) Christians believe that there is a war on Christmas.

Somehow, both of these facts are able to co-exist and I don't understand how.

There IS though... it's just that they're the only ones fighting it.

They're advancing rapidly, but not as rapidly as you think; fighting unopposed and whatnot. Must be all that figgy pudding weighing them down. :V

The Christian left is upset about the crass commercialization/profiteering  of a high holy day.  This is most evident in their "Jesus is the Reason for the Season" push back.  So in that context, the two sentiments do co-exist. And then there's the endless blather from the crowd that believes its possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.  "Merry Christmas" vs the accommodating "Happy Holidays"  and all that rot that sets the Christian-left's teeth on edge.

We'd be some much better off as a species without all of it. :(

But without the commercialism of Christmas, I wouldn't get to be nostalgic over the Sears Wish Book! D:

Ain't that the truth! Eatons and even Canadian Tire had versions back in the day too.  

*sniff*

I grew up in Labrador, that book was my lifeline to toys. D:  Now I'm just a stupid grown up who lives three subway stops away from The Lego Store. :/

...Though that makes getting this a lot easier next month... http://shop.lego.com/en-CA/Winter-Toy-Shop-10249

THIS IS NOW THE CHRISTMAS THREAD!

brb getting sick

christians are just butthurt because other holidays exist around the same time as theirs, because apparently being the majority isn't acknowledgement enough.  THERE ARE NO "HOLIDAYS", ONLY ONE HOLIDAY HAPPENING, NOW IS CHRISTIAN TIME EVERYONE IS CHRISTIAN, ANYONE WHO SAYS "HAPPY HOLIDAYS" IS OPPRESSING CHRISTIANS BY NOT RECOGNIZING THAT THEIR HOLIDAY IS THE ONLY ONE THAT EXISTS THIS TIME OF YEAR.

meanwhile, poor Hanukkah only gets a single 3' endcap in walmart. we don't even talk about those other holidays.

sheeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiit

I won't enjoy a real Christmas 'til I get to spend it covered in snow.

It doesn't feel right when you watch all those movies and cartoons growing about it being all about snow, and then it's 40°C outside :c

been there, done that.  yes it's sparkly and festive.  but it's also cold.  then when the fancy christmas magic has worn off, you are left with ugly piles of dirty snow lining your roads and walkways.  brown, half-melted lumpy snowmen on every lawn.  wet socks every damn day.  everyone should get a white christmas at least once, but i'm ok with not having it every year.

*raises eyebrow* no focus on Christmas over here right now. Just Halloween and nothing but. Guess advertising for holidays differs from place to place. Usually Christmas stuff doesn't come up over here till Thanksgiving is about to come up.

lucky devil.

I don't ever leave my room and don't watch TV so I have yet to see Christmas taking over.

But I don't welcome its appearance until December.

After everyone is done being spooky I want to see people preparing turkeys.

No Christmas adverts/merchandise yet over where I live in Scotland thankfully, although I suspect it'll start immediately after Halloween finishes.

at least y'all have the decency to wait for halloween.  christmas has been creeping up earlier and earlier around here; before long, "christmas in july" ain't gonna mean a thing.

admittedly i don't care nearly as much about thanksgiving as i do halloween... but it still bothered me a little when i had thanksgiving with the family and there was christmas music on the radio in the background.  everybody needs to stop making me hate my boyfriend santa claus.  :c

Meh. Christmas is a good holiday where you get to enjoy a feast with your family, and you get to show your appreciation to them. That's the heart of the holiday for me. Everything else is superficial.

 

That's a nice sentiment. But what if you dislike your family, don't know what to get any of them because they are extremely bland, only get served fish (which you despise above all else on Earth) and get teased (every single fucking year) about never eating it, have to do that ridiculous Polish opłatek thing that is like torture for the socially awkward, and then dad gets tipsy off a shit-ton of wine and starts talking about how faggots and dark-skinned folk are ruining America.

Whoa, got carried away there.

Happy Halloween Everyone.

We don't really have Halloween over here, so we just go directly to Christmas. Well. Some do. Others go directly to New Years Eve and start firing off shit the second it becomes available. It's no longer New Years Eve. It's New Years Month.

Your family get-togethers sound like a blast.
