Even though it is nearly 2 months away, and Thanksgiving might as well not exist.

It'll get annoying, like it does every year.

Why are you declaring War on Christmas, ICOYAR?

Fuck i hate the whole damn Christmas season, not having to listen to the crappy music for 2 months straight was seriously one of the things I cherished most about getting out of retail work

Because the month known as Christmas isn't for 30 more days.

Commercialism and terrible music has ruined Christmas for me.

I prefer Thanksgiving so much more.

Lol! So true! Thanksgiving has literally become "Early Black Friday!" In fact Black Friday is an entire 5 day block starting Thursday and ending on Monday. It even has a group meal event, where everyone briefly mentions what they got "on sale" while scanning sale papers and hoarding coupons, before swiftly returning to the stores. That is if they deign to meal. People seem to be more interested in the Camping and Line Waiting Events.

No one talks about Thanksgiving anymore. Heck, it's only gets a passing mention "The Holiday Travel Season" ft. Christmas. Are we traveling for Black Friday Sales? Pre-Christmas Savings?! It's the only event media has deemed worth taking about in between 60 days of Christmas Promotions...

I really hate it, but it is what it is.

I do like Thanksgiving, though. Always have a great meal and then leftovers for days, and the advent of online shopping means I've spent the last 6 "Black Fridays" (it is now more of a 5 day event, yeah) at home sipping hot chocolate while surfing deals on my computer.
Way better, and totally worth giving up on the doorbuster deals that there's only like 3 in the whole store for 5000 people to rush for anyway.

Halloween is just one night and that's been and gone now. I know you don't leave the house but even you should know we are not on the 31st of October anymore.

I don't think I've seen any others yet. Or at least nothing that screams 'holidays'. Might be a few with a general purpose winter theme.

I get that it takes time to set up for the season so a couple weeks early is understandable. I'd say mid-Nov. It's when you start seeing holiday items and Halloween candy along with back to school items you know something is wrong.

Blame capitalistic exploits on the spirit of 'giving'. But also blame your sourness on your own cynicism and jadedness.

It's an almost completely romantic holiday in Japan and loads of men get lonely and bitter during Christmas in Japan.

well their culture is almost entirely based on work so no doubt loads of men would be lonely

not sure how any romantic holiday could exist in a country where most people have no time for anything but work

I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this who will count the votes, and how.

Or The Present...how can marketing be so romantic if japan frowns upon people who don't work their lives away?
