Alternatively, you can let me put up my damn 5 minutes of happiness tree and the "I like the pretty color" lights. Christmas is literally the comfy smell-good season for me. And Thanksgiving can co-exist. Yeah its pretty much about presents and wrapping paper for the stores, but just because a bunch of assholes like it for evil reasons, doesn't mean I have to cull my enjoyment to "defeat" them.
TL;DR I'm gonna just keep the Christmas Tree around and redecorate it for each holiday. And I'll have Halloweenmas, Thanksmas, New Yearsmas, Birthmas whatever other holidaymas.
I'll go full fucking elf.
Y'know, good for you. This is the attitude I wanna have. Fuck em, but give me a game of lightsabers with my sister and two wrapping paper tubes >:)
Same here. Decorating the tree is just fun and it smells good. Plus it's an excuse to make the outside of the house pretty when HOA normally doesn't allow it most of the year.
Kids wanted Xmas to start after Halloween this year.
Xmas started after Halloween this year.
100%. Celebrating stuff early is not inherently consumeristic or capitalism driven
