The second week of October, my local Home Depot was playing fucking Christmas music. Just trying to make some small talk with the obviously unhappy cashier, she told me (it was 915am at the time) ‘I got here at 830, and I’m working til close today. I might kill myself before December if I have to listen to this for two months every day.’
Eventually christmas will become a year round corporation holiday. I remember ‘Christmas in July’ where TBS would show shit like A Christmas Story and othee stuff during the summer. Its what the corporate world is gunning for. January? Christmas. June? Christmas. MLK day? No, but we got Santy Claus.
I hate to sound like a fucking boomer but im actually old enough to remember a lapse in holiday decoration between Christmas/Turkey Day/Halloween. They used to have some separation there despite their proximity.
My local Lowes was the same, they had both Christmas junk and Halloween junk out in the outdoor section and only left two narrow-ass paths between all the single-use garbage.

It’s fucking bleak out there folks. ,
Working on my theory where I correlate the declining rate of profit to the earliest moment that Christmas decorations start coming out each year.
