    I have already decorated for Christmas.  I did it this week when it was really, really cold, and I was feeling Christmas-y.  I don't even feel bad about it!!
    BLASPHEMY!!!!!!!!!

    I will not tolerate nor condone any Christmas anything until after Thanksgiving.  The Christmas Creep enrages me to no end, and now that it's encroaching on Halloween, my favorite holiday, I really feel like the Grinch.

    Seriously, I don't want to see a single fucking twinkle light or bulb until November, let alone in October.   When the stores start trotting out Christmas shit in October I'm fully sick of Christmas by the time December 24th hits.

    It's been a thing between a co-worker and I for the past 10 years to see how can prank the other one into clicking a link or hearing this song 1st.

    I just sent her an email claiming there was a new case of Ebola in the US and that family from our area may have been exposed. . . and when I created the hypelink I embedded that song so when she clicks on the "news" story, BAM!

    Actually, WHAM!

    MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

    I will buy Christmas before Thanskgiving, but I do not put up any decor until Black Friday. Sometimes that means I put stuff up in the morning, sometimes that means I come home at midnight like "H, HELP ME PUT THE TREE UP."

    I fucking love decorating for Christmas. But let the turkey thaw first man.

    ....two radio stations in my radio range started playing it at least a week before Halloween this year.

    When I discovered this, I totally ignored it and went about my life. For exactly .2 seconds. My car is now tuned to the one that gets better signal, and my computer has the one I actually like better bookmarked. I'm not allowed to listen to it at home until after Thanksgiving though. Thankfully nobody ever rides in my car. :)

    This is why it's so hard to be Canadian. No clear delineation of when Christmas actually starts when Thanksgiving is in October.

    But that's what I'm saying - at least you guys can kinda say "after Thanksgiving it's Christmas." But if we did that it would be okay have Christmas stuff up before Halloween...

    Christmas is still December 24th for you guys, right?  So it should be pretty obvious that Christmas does not begin in October, regardless of when Canuck Turkey Day is.

    There's no excuse in the US for Christmas to start in October either.

    Lol, it's December 25th. But do you really not think it's not okay for it to be the "Christmas season" after American Thanksgiving?

    Whoops, good call, lol!

    Sure, it can be Christmas season after American TGiving since December usually follows that week or the next.

    But that's not what happens.  They keep pushing it further and further back.  Seriously, they start putting Christmas shit out before Halloween has even occurred.

    Someone joked in another thread that they might as well just start putting Christmas shit out as soon as the kids go back to school.

    I normally don't tolerate any form of Christmas until December 1, except for the occasional song because I CAN'T HELP IT. One full month of Christmas (cuz you know nobody's taking shit down before New Year). And then everyone has clear delineation. It doesn't need longer than a full month.

    NOW, that being said, I did plan on putting my outdoor lights up early, so I didn't have to risk my life doing it in the snow. I would NOT have turned them on until 12/1 though, just put them up. But it's ALREADY too damn late for that. Last year we had our first snow on Thanksgiving and it didn't melt til April, so I'm not too hopeful that this will turn out any differently.

    This doesn't apply to shopping. I'll buy all the shit all the time.

    I like Christmas music. I'll listen to it in July just because I like it. I don't give a shit. It makes me happy.

    I also like twinkle lights, so when I felt like shit these past few weeks, my wife put up twinkle lights around the house (and in our bedroom) to cheer me up. Zero fucks were given and they did cheer me up.

    I usually have a very firm NEVER until after Thanksgiving rule.
    For mysterious reasons, it hit me early this year. I bought a very nice double CD "Classical Christmas" from Target, and I listened to it about 8 times in a row. 
    I love Christmas music. I have even cried when it disappears from the radio on December 27th. WTF? All that buildup, and then they expect me to go cold turkey, and just stop?
    No.
    I had this brilliant plan last year, to keep all twelve days of Christmas. From the feast of St. Stephen all the way to Twelfth Night.  I got the flu sometime around St. Basil, and my glorious plan fizzled and died.

    I'm doing it again. Bullshit with one night. I will have twelve. And music every single day. All day. There will be food. And candles. And more food. And wine. And cookies.

    I have great ideas.

    No no no no no!
    This is why you haven't won the lottery! It's bad luck to take Christmas down before Epiphany. 

    So January 6th. And you're supposed to eat spicy food that day. Because of the Kings bringing spices. Pretty sure they didn't bring chili peppers, but we eat Mexican food that day. Because I love superstitions, and enchiladas. Any good excuse for a party.
