I realised the watermark was over the text after making the meme. No one will remember this in three days so I dont give a shit.

Don’t get me wrong: I hate how consumerist Christmas is and how stores have started stocking Christmas decorations in September.
BUT
Living in America, the cutoff is Thanksgiving. Which does indeed cede part of the end of November to Christmas.
However, Halloween has encroached forward, pushed on by the goths. What started as merely Tim Burton fans has evolved. Krampusnacht has started to catch on as a more horror-themed holiday. So a lot of our Halloween decorations just stay up. And there’s no point on making a trip to the attic just to put stuff away so they stay out until the end of December with everything else.
Wrong and you should be ashamed
Once I started going to Dragon Con (Labor Day weekend), September also started feeling like Halloween season to me.
(It probably doesn’t help that more folks in my neighborhood put up decorations for Halloween than they do for Christmas, and start pretty early with them.)
For that reason, my Halloween decorations came down promptly on Nov 1. Maybe I should start decorating for Thanksgiving…
