How moronic. You can buy christmas stuff 2 months before christmas but not clothes in-season.
They have year-round Christmas stores in some places. Just nothing but Christmas stuff for sale 365 days a year. I always wonder about people who go to such stores in April or May.
The only thing I could think of is people that film stuff, as if you want to make a Christmas episode or movie, you will have to film it way in advanced in order to release it on Christmas.
I don't know that much filming goes on in Gladewater, Texas.

And that is the tip of the bizarre iceberg.
Christmas starts in August. It's disgusting. Whenever I point these things out everyone thinks I hate Christmas. I really don't. Christmas joy can't last half a year it's unreasonable. To counter it i only put my tree up 2 weeks before Christmas. I'm not gonna spend all day in Christmas land everywhere then coming home to it.
When I was a kid my family put up the tree the Saturday after Thanksgiving (US), and took it down January 1, all as a family fun thing. I still do that.
"only" 2 weeks? What is normal where you live? When we still had a tree (when I was a kid) it got put up on the 24th
Putting all that effort to decorate a tree for a day sounds ridiculous.
It stayed up for usually around 2 weeks after that, depending on how quickly it started losing lots of needles
I can feel it, a change in the air, the water runs colder... It's October. But it feels like it's about to be Christmas. I can't help but notice the sensation, warmth yet fridged, the desire for a cup of cider by a warm fire... Even stores have started putting up winter light displays... Do not tell me the old magic has lost it's affect on you young ones, close your eyes, breath deep of Christmas Magic...
Back! Back!!
First time seeing this symbol, what does it mean?
(Because it almost looks like an AI generated pentagram lmao)

It's meant to represent a failed attempt to resist evil; I needed some kind of sigil to ward off malign wholesomeness, and it occurred to me I could use this - on the side of evil.
oh that's good shit
That's pretty cool, keep on keeping on with evil.
One does one's best, this time of year
To be fair Halloween has did a good bit of creeping as well this year. Not a bad thing, I guess. I never am in the mood for it though I like horror movies and shit.
Halloween isn't a holiday, it's a state of mind.
November? I went into Walmart on September 29 and the seasonal section was plastered with Christmas trees and other decorations.
You should see some shops in Australia, they decide to put up a small display for "Christmas in July" then the next thing you know there's no other holidays to protect that display from just becoming a growing Christmas display.... in August!
And it's so lazy because it's still the Christmas in July display at the core, with the actual December Christmas merch expanding out from the it, so there's ugly Christmas sweaters, roasts, and snow men decorations in the the middle, and board shorts, barbecues, thongs* and white boomers* after that.
(thongs are flip flops/sandals, white boomers are albino kangaroos, it's what Santa uses to pull the rusted out ute across the sand because he leaves the reindeer and sleigh for the northern hemisphere.....Australian Christmas is weird)
Yea, they bliz krieged into September!
Lowe's has Christmas decorations out already. They've crossed the Halloween blockade.
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.
From the pumpkin to turkey autumn shall be free
Free, free October!
Free free free November!
All Out For Autumn
Michael's too. Trees right next to the spooky section.
Craft stores make sense. You need to buy supplies before the season
I saw no turkey decorations.
It's already Christmas ⛄🎁! I don't know what you're talking about.
Found the Venuzuelan!
Even now, their settlers colonize October. All self defense is valid.
