The war on Christmas was always projection and this year Halloween is finally fallen, those bastards crucified Jack Skelington as a tribute to Charlie Kirk

[–] Ildsaye@hexbear.net 6 points 4 weeks ago

Monarchism hasn't done Halloween any favors. Skellington had a solid chance to destroy Christmas and transform the entire dark half of the year into a protracted communion with Death, but he was seduced by the call of jingle bells and made concessions to Sandy Claws that we are still paying for to this day

Neckening was a false flag to get the stores turned over to Christmas early because of low consumer demand during the year. Extending the Christmas shopping season is retail's last stand

only-throw no holiday off only spend

I am calling for a full withdrawal of Christmas to its original December 1st border and the establishment of November as a non-aligned buffer month

We didn't start the War on Christmas! This is a defensive war!

[–] ClimateStalin@hexbear.net 15 points 4 weeks ago

I’d like to apologize for my support of the policy of appeasement of Christmas, allowing them to take the period between Thanksgiving and the end of November.

I thought it would be fine, no one was really using that time, and it would satisfy the beast. I was wrong, it just gave it a taste for stolen territory.

it would be fine if christmas music was any good.

[–] KhanCipher@hexbear.net 12 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

No it is never fine, Christmas must be forcibly returned to its original borders of December, and Santa must promise that he will never commit any acts of unprovoked aggression on the territories of November, October, and September.

Though the only good Christmas song is Christmas at Ground Zero by Weird Al.

b-but what of halloween?? surely some forces still remain to fight a guerilla war? scared

[–] FloridaBoi@hexbear.net 3 points 4 weeks ago

Beyond August you’d be lucky to get anything but scraps. Only Halloween candy remains but in dwindling supply as Christmas stakes its claim over vast territories starting in September and by October has established an irreversible foothold. Soon every department will be captured and entrenched.

We should do this with Pride Month. Start flooding social media and other venues with rainbows as early as January

It's been coming in on the trucks for at least the past week.

So not only were we getting waves of dept. 18, we've been needing to split up the Halloween stuff from the 4 pallets of Christmas stuff.

The situation is dire. Send reinforcements.

[–] KhanCipher@hexbear.net 9 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

The Christmas stuff is consuming the entire lawn and garden section already here, while the Halloween stuff is contained to just the 5 small vertical aisles at the front of homelines, and the single "seasonal" aisle in grocery.

Thank god I work ON Maintenance, where I don't have to deal with that stocking shit. The maintenance team here has to deal with a whole list of other problems, like why is every other department able to get everything they need while we have to fight tooth and nail just to get the basic supplies so we can run our floor scrubbers.

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 5 points 4 weeks ago

retail management brainworms.

your department doesn't have/generate sales and service revenue. leadership invariably promotes from sales.

you're a cost of doing business and their first thought is always cutting those.

it is as dumb as it is common.

Our Lord and saviour would not have tolerated Christmas. It has no Biblical justification, it brings money-worship into religion, and it steals and destroys pagan culture in the manner of the Romans. Christmas is heretical from top to bottom.

Porky, you son of a bitch

Among my friends and family, I’m known as the anti-Christmas grinch.

I explain it’s not Christmas that I hate, it’s the Christmas season, which now takes up at least 10% of the annual calendar. If Christmas was something that was only a thing where people started decorating Christmas Eve, celebrated on the day, and that was it, I would be good with Christmas.

[–] AnarchoAnarchist@hexbear.net 3 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

I'll admit that I am a big Christmas fan. I'm the kind of annoying person who has watched the same half dozen Christmas specials every year for the last ~~20~~ 35 years. I can recite how the Grinch stole Christmas from memory. When one of the local radio stations switches to Christmas songs in December, that is all that I will listen to in the car for around 3 weeks.

But I beg my fellow Christmas-heads, A holiday is not special if it takes up 10% of the year. Christmas lights do not belong on your house before December. No Christmas tree needs to be put up before December. Stores do not need to be selling Christmas things before Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a very important part of the holiday ecosystem and it needs to be respected. The further Christmas encroaches into the year, the less special it becomes.

In the same way animal conservationists will support targeted hunting in order to maintain population balance, I fully support the eradication of anything Christmas themed before December 7th.

Edit: realized I've actually been watching the same holiday specials for about 35 years.

two weeks of decorations is okay. anything in December is tolerable. but [insert Picard speech about the line must be drawn here no further]
