…and its incursions into October.

Halloween should not have to share part of its terrority with the imperialists!

The crimes of Jack Skelington does not warrant Christmas music in October!

But OCT 31 = DEC 25

Shit, last year our Lowes had shit out in August. The infection is spreading.

Every holiday should be allotted only it's respective month and no more.

Cinco de Mayo for the whole Mayo

[–] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But what about Cinco de Cuatro?

I'm still not sure how I feel about the later seasons of AD

Month? Fuck that, they have their day and that should be it, I'm ready to set fire to the Christmas tree at 00am on the 26th!

Holidays should be spread out so there's one a month (or more) and their only reason to exist should be to give people long weekends!

You can burn your Christmas tree and fuck the massacring pilgrims, but Halloween requires its full month.

Nah I'm not good enough to make shit this cool. I've had it floating around on my hard drive for a while

Christmas has a right to exist and expand until it finally coincides with Jesus’s actual birthday. It’s gods chosen date!

[–] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 21 points 2 years ago

It's expanding in the wrong direction

[–] Seraph@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Seeing as the actual one was in April (I think) we're going the wrong direction. We need Xmas to push into January.

[–] RandomStickman@kbin.social 13 points 2 years ago

Oh no their plan is to go the long way around.

[–] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Damn so the dude got nailed to a cross a month before his birthday? That's rough.

Do Canadians get an exemption since Thanksgiving is in October?

[–] mars@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We have Remembrance Day (Nov 11, similar to Veterans Day in the US).

After that (sometimes even right after Halloween) Christmas invades.

I saw xmas stuff in winners/homesense early Oct this year.

Christmas will never end until we remove Hummus from the Pita Strip!!

[–] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Some stores near me literally started putting out the red and green on like October 15.

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

From the winter to the summer, November shall be free.

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Happy holidays y'all 😎

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No need to wage war on christmas, it's just a traditional custom for family to come together in the dark season. Like yulfest was.

[–] Nouveau_Burnswick@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

YULfest

Now I've got to propose a holiday party at MontrΓ©al airport

[–] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Honestly air travel is stressful enough and we all need a couple pegan rituals to take the edge off.

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I don't give half a shit which holidays people are celebrating or when they start or stop. However, it does piss me off when Halloween decorations don't go up for sale in stores until the last week of September (or later) and they replace them with Christmas decorations 10 days before the end of October.

[–] usernamesaredifficul@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Christmas would find it harder to occupy November if November wasn't depressing and shit

Christmas is the only scrap of joy November has to offer

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Faux News is the herald of capitalism's a war on Thanksgiving.
