    At that time, it was generally frowned upon for retailers to display Christmas decorations or hold Christmas sales prior to Thanksgiving—a trend later referred to as “Christmas creep.”

    At least we don’t have that problem anymore! /s

      July fucking 5th. I saw Christmas trees for sale on July the fucking 5th.

      I absolutely refuse to engage with Christmas until December 12th now. I told my wife spooky season extends to Christmas day. I have neighbors with skeletons still out, so I’m sure I’m not alone.
