    i’m really, really hoping shit like this becomes popular. i’m pretty bah humbug already, but having christmas shit in stores before halloween is over is fucking ridiculous. i know there are bigger issues in the world but goddamn it the christmas crawl makes me grumpy. i feel like people are bigger assholes around the holidays, traffic gets worse, people shopping in stores are rude. just...stop. stop it!

      SAME! I love this new twist on “War on Christmas,” that actually welcomes people into a legitimate battlefield for my sanity.

    H&M’s logo is red and plain. Coincidence? I think not.

      H&M stands for “hates mistletoe.”

    So i pieced together a new outfit partly from H&M yesterday and no one at work has even acknowledged it or said anything nice about it and it’s kinda upsetting me right now

    like ‘hey brian, i like your color coordination, it’s pretty good’

    You know what? Fuck Christmas, there I said it. I am so sick of this whole holiday season bullshit. The last decent holiday each year is Halloween. I tolerate thanksgiving only because I like turkey, stuffing and gravy. I was in Starbucks this morning and that depressing Charlie Brown christmas song was playing and I swear to god I wanted to put a gun to my head and blow my brains out. I can’t imagine how my favorite baristas are going to feel by 12/28. Oh, and Michael’s, where I was going to buy skulls and coffins and shit like 4 weeks ago for my Halloween plans, had already started putting up Christmas decorations and making their store smell like pine and cinnamon. I’m not setting foot in one of their stores until after Valentines day. I hope I don’t run out of paint or pencils or canvas or anything I need for failed art career.

    Fuck Christmas.

      Giiiirl, don’t get me started on Michael’s! I love the store, but goddamn is their Christmas shit annoying. Last year I went in a week before Halloween to get some spooky decorations. All of the Halloween stuff was on clearance so they could make room for Christmas shit! And this year, I went in early October for Halloween stuff, and Christmas stuff was already out! Why do stores do this? Are people really buying Christmas stuff 3 months early?

    I’m glad they are doing this. It’ s about damn time somebody realized that if they keep moving back the “shopping days” where does it end? Halloween? So good. They should all be closed on Thanksgiving.

      I hate it that they have everything for set dates stocked months in advance. Because by the time that date actually gets close, they’ve moved it, and you can’t find it.

    Good. Now can we get stores to stop playing Christmas music in November. In fact, let’s skip playing Christmas music until two weeks before Christmas. Make it mean something, dagnabit.

    I just spent three hours at JCPenny, shopping with the family. It was “It’s beginning to look alot like Christmas,” muzak hell.

      There is a radio station in DC that plays nonstop christmas music from the middle of November to I think the end of December. I hate that station so much then. My only repreive is that the sister rock station does JewRock Marathon for Hanukkah. Its normal music commercial free for like 6 hours. Its beautiful

      Hell, I’d be happy if they just waited until the day after Thanksgiving to play those songs and stock that crap. That’s what the whole Black Friday thing was about, originally — the day after Thanksgiving was considered to kick off Christmas spending, and also coincided with the time of yer when stores typically started to see their books go from the red to the black.

    I love this. When I worked retail, I hated going in on Thanksgiving. It’s a fun holiday everyone should be able to enjoy. Of course, I’d like the supermarkets to be opened until 10am on Thanksgiving and Christmas, just because I always forget something important. I am a hypocrite, but only asking them to be open for a few hours.

      And people were just the worst on Thanksgiving. It was one of my least favorite days to work. The only days worse were Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. Christmas Day, for some reason, wasn’t quite so bad.

      I do a part time gig in retail over the holidays and I don’t really care about going in on Thanksgiving, but I really wish that people would stop shopping/eating out on Labor Day and let everyone enjoy it. It’s so fucking offensive that business has stolen this day from the people it was meant for.

    Wait, so they’re just closed for Thanksgiving? Yeah, um, no praise from me. Closed for Thanksgiving should be the standard not a give us a cookie we’re so great to our employees. When I started in retail 15ish years ago, nobody but grocery stores were open in my area and even they closed around noon. I noticed the creeping, open at 6pm on Thanksgiving bullshit years ago though. Those places should be boycotted.

        That’s cool and all but when you have to be back at work at 2am for Black Friday, you still don’t get to spend it with your family because you’re trying to sleep before waking up at 1 am.
