You had me until the too early decorations. The other things don't take away my joy. That does.

Also harm isn't why people care. Its the erosion of well defined seasons in order to push corporate products on us and in the end we get fucked up melding of events like remembrance day while people are preoccupied trying to get Christmas shopping in.

It turns what was once cultural events into corporate buy shit quarters. Because its easier for Walmart to sell Christmas stuff in October then wait until it's the season.

Its a loss and erosion of an important shared culture in favor of only corporate sponsored ones.

This is the reason. It's all just so commercial now and it never ends!

How does me putting an inflatable grim reaper in my yard in February take away your joy?

Nfi but this comment just brought me great joy. I’m grinning.

If just one person does it, it doesn't. But there are always more.
