Oh, I’m not happy about it. But that doesn’t change the fact that her one eye opened, and soon, we will be engulfed.

I’m already seeing Christmas stuff in Target, Home Depot, etc. Wild.

Home Depot near me clearanced out the Halloween stuff in September last year to make room for Christmas decorations.

My dude, we're well into September.

My local Costco already has snowmen and Christmas lights out for sale. Halloween stuff is basically all gone.

Amen. dark days are ahead. Use caution around televisions and radios. And for fucks sake, steer clear of the shopping centres. Liberate yourself from auditory tyranny - arm yourself with the best noise cancelling headphones or ear defenders in your reach - keep them close for at least the next 3 months, ESPECIALLY behind enemy lines. The terrorists can be around any corner. Stay strapped

what does that mean?

So, you live on Earth? Way to doxx yourself! /s

I do that after Halloween myself.

For me it’s Santa Baby or whatever the hell it’s called, that song is just totally creepy.

honestly if you're like me and the millions of other tortured survivors of the hellscape known as A Retail Job, 99% of Christmas songs are just pure PTSD trigger

fortunately I can still somewhat enjoy Carol of the Bells and most of The Nutcracker because they just go so fuckin hard

also what didn't get ruined for me by being blasted over a blown out speaker in a loop for 8–10 hour shifts, are various metal Christmas tracks that are too spicy for grocery store grandmas 🤘

I prefer "Grandma got worked over by a mobster". As an Italian American, it really speaks to me.

It's Feliz Navidad for me. Catchy enough to get stuck in my head, repetitive enough to be annoying while it's in there.

Well that implies a lot!

Fr. She's heavy in my rotation and as someone with complex feelings about Christmas, her annual return to the spotlight is a bright spot. I enjoy her unironically.

Why can't they just sell Halloween shit year round? Halloween is nicer.

I saw that last year in the UK for a couple of shops. This year august was the start of Halloween/autumn stuff instead which is better than Christmas although probably still a little early. Now its September I have seen small sections of Christmas stuff start to appear in more shops though.

Hottest day of the year in the UK, Xmas shit been put out in the shelves. Halloween stuff was already out and selling 🤷

The real spirit of Christmas is godless consumption, not Jesus.

You and me both!

Though before I engage in my pagan idolatry for Yule based nonsense, I'll do some other pagan things for Halloween.

Or even a lotta.

The pumpkin spice campaign is in on it! You’re only ensuring she will rise again.

Boop.

Irrelevant. She ages super slowly because they refreeze her come Mid January.

Edritch Horror Mariah Carey is immortal

That's the true horror. It's like a recurring nightmare where you're powerless to stop it. Also you can't wake up

This worst kind of meme, the kind we'll never get away from because it's not at all based in popularity but in record company contractual obligation.
