    I also see how early many people put up their christmas lights this year (not stores, but houses) and I can't not read a desperation for normality in it. Like i started seeing some before thanksgiving.

          That's what my family did growing up, I think my dad struggled with the lights in the dark and cold for one year, then the next he set them up in August and left them until we moved

      The Hallmark Channel is currently the third-highest rated in the USA. People fucking love Christmas.
