So, now that Halloween is over...

It's time to get ready for Christmas! Put up your trees! Throw in your favorite Christmas music! Bust out the eggnog! Go get your Christmas cookies! It's Christmas time!

No seriously. It's way too early for Christmas.* Heard Christmas music on the radio today. Not just one song, but a lot of Christmas music.



*The point of the thread.

Wasn't there a holiday between Halloween and Christmas? I think it was called Thanksgiving.

That's what I'm saying.

yep, I love Christmas, but I hate it when they start to early. The mall near my house already has christmas decorations up. It really irks me, cause its people like that who shove the holiday down your throat and ruin it.

Why is it now that everyone skips Thanksgiving and goes straight from Halloween to Christmas.

Poor turkeys

No. I despise Christmas. I despise the fact that retailers have to put up Christmas stuff a week before Halloween. GAH!!
Thanksgiving is awesome. All that food.

Christmas is supposed to be on December 25th, but if you look at any malls or stores like Wall Mart or Target it's clear that it really goes on from early October to late January.

I. Hate. Holiday. Decorations. Stupid flashing lights. I could look at those in awe and not realize I ran over Mrs. Hunt, the 80-year-old. D< If I could burn down one house with Christmas house, I would be angered. All, happy.

Thanksgiving is fun because my mom makes the family's old recipe, Texas Potatoes. They're. Awesome.

Christmas is celebrated waaaaay too early. "Oh, hey. Decorations up already in June." I've seen it before.

We don't do Thanksgiving here, so we're not really skipping a holiday.

They just started playing Christmas carols in the shopping centre where I work.

We usually put up our Christmas decorations a week, maybe two before the actual holiday.
Retailers are killing Christmas with all their... their... shopping... stuff.
Chistmas is about family, damnit, not spending all your money on Rock Band and barbecues. >:

(And I love Thanksgiving. It's such an awesome day. Spend all morning cooking, spend the next couple of hours eating, then do absolutely nothing until you're hungry enough to eat again. :3)

Carols.

I also hate them.

Oh. I just remembered that QVC commercial that played three times in a row, every night, for a month straight. It repeated three times in a row a night. This was around Christmas in... '07?

Thanksgiving all the delicious food!!!!

Granted I love Christmas, but only in December. I hate how they've pushed Christmas to right after Halloween or even into October. Its rediculous. '

And I agree with King KK, Christmas is about family, not all this bull♥♥♥♥ thats being spewed by retail stores

One time, my mother put up the Christmas tree and stuff the day after Thanksgiving. My dad and I both cursed her out for it. My dad has a rule: "Never put up the Christmas ♥♥♥♥ until AFTER my birthday!!!!!!" (His bday is December 6th.) I hate having to look at the stuff for that long. If it were me, id have a tiny tree that sits on the table and no lights outside. Screw that holiday. No one celebrates it for its true meaning anymore anyway. D:

I like commercialized Christmas because I like getting stuff. Materialism FTW.

I don't like the religious aspect of Christmas because I always get this "ur an athiest wat r u doing celebrating christmas?" and then I have to come up with some sort of excuse.

I love Christmas. It means, every year, I get to read a deluge of posts by cool rebel teens railing against the materialism and shallowness of society like they're the ♥♥♥♥ing Voltaire of the 21st century.

Seriously guys, we get it. Shut up already.

So much as I adore Christmas, I don't like seeing ads for it the day after Halloween.

Yet they enjoy materialism. Eh.

Materialism is like a box of chocolates. It can be used in a weird metaphor said by Gump's Mama.

But for Christmas, I'm planning on getting that there train game.

NO THAT'S EASTER.

I think it's stupid too. Thanksgiving is important dammit! People get ready for Halloween like it's a big deal (but I do like Halloween), but not Thanksgiving, and that's bull****. I liked getting candy on Halloween, but I was handing out candy this year, and I swear, there was some bratty a** kids; Some wouldn't say "Trick or Treat" or "Thankyou" and they'd just stand there and open up thier bag. I'm just thinking to myself "I don't have to give you **** you little brat!" No manners whatsoever! I always said what was supposed to be said.

I like Thanksgiving. You wake up, watch some Thanksgiving football, and make food, then pig out, and wait an hour, then do it again. And be around the family you love.

But you do have to cut Christmas a little slack, because a bunch of people, including me, think Christmas is the best holiday ever. I've made so many great memories on Christmas. Christmas always makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. All of my family every year gathers at my grandfathers house, and we socialize. Have a bunch of great laughs and happy times, and exchange gifts and eat, and have more great laughs and happy times, show everyone what we've got for Christmas, and make some of the best memories of my life.

I consciously ignore the Christmas decor at department stores and the holiday music on that one station until after December 1st.

I wanna hear Thanksgiving songs on the radio now plz.
