    I mean, I cant say I disagree with the irrational rage of holiday creep. seeing Christmas shit out in october, and halloween shit out in July/August is infuriating.

    Far better ways to to approach it than this ridiculous satanic panic and other myriad religious bullshit, though.

      Stores have seasonal sections. When 4th of July has passed, halloween is the next big retail holiday, followed by Christmas. When you consider that empty seasonal sections are the alternative, halloween in July makes a lot more sense.

      What I’ll never forgive is Christmas music before Thanksgiving.

      What else are stores supposed to do with their seasonal areas other than stock for the next decoration-based holiday?

      Well, people are obviously buying this shit in summer, so don’t complain about the stores. It’s a worldwide phenomenon, too.
