IMO, Halloween needs to extend into November. The US has Thanksgiving, but it might as well be mini-Christmas at this point. Halloween needs to establish a bulwark.
Ministry - Everyday is Halloween.
November? It’s late August in the UK.
People have been buying bags of candy since mid-August for October 31.
for October 31
…right.
Do I, perchance, detect the slightest whiff of…sarcasm?
I saw a pallet of candy corn at Meijer at the end of July. I bought a bag and it turned out to be the most fresh and delicious bag of candy corn I’ve ever eaten. Then I realized that all the stale candy corn I usually buy around October and am disappointed in is just super old because it sat around for 3 months before being eaten. So I’ve decided from now on, I will only enjoy candy corn during peak candy corn harvest in late July early August.
Lol, everyone knows candy corn is harvested in July. The stuff you buy in the fall is imported from Peru
You city boys make me sick!
Up here in God’s country we don’t go to no dad-blamed, fancy nancy Meijer store for our candy corn. Hell, no! We drive our trucks to the top of the Devil’s Mountain of Screaming Insanity and Painful Death; then we hike fifty seven miles through the Unholy Swamp, cross the Bridge of Savage Disembowelment into the Forbidden Plains of Lugubrious Misery, and then, and only then, after proving our strength and manly worth, do we allow our Mommies to give us the candy corn THEY got at Meijer
I read it out loud twice, thanks
Thanks, I try
I enjoyed this immensely.
Yes, that comment totally deserves a “what the f did I just read” (but in a good way!)
That shit stale as fuck now.
November? My local Home Depot was selling Christmas decorations on September 29th. There should be a law…
That’s late. Ours had shit in August
If I ever become the ruler of the world, I’m making a law that every month gets one major holiday, and that holiday shall be confined to that month.
That’s 13 major holidays, plus New Years (and Leap Day) since I’d also be forcing everyone to use a better calendar.
'Sounds sensible. What’s your take on climate change? (Maybe I’ll write you in on my US ballot.) 😀
A ballot cast for, “Make It Stop,” is certainly the only truly sensible choice.
Which holiday gets December?
With 6-day weeks (which have their own set of advantages) you can have 12 perfect 5-week months and an extra leap week that dissappears every 8 years
Looks like the are gerrymandering the yards.
Merrygandering
Oktober? They’re selling Christmas stuff in August now
As with most things here, and everywhere else, you forgot “in the US”.
Nope. Also in Germany.
I feel like the qualifier is not necessary for this statement. Not everything needs that level of classification lmao. It reaches “I use arch BTW” levels after a while.
Mariah Carey will have something to say about this!
Xmas is for ignorant Christians.
I knew it. November is in cahoots with the Happy Holidays crowd.
Christmas decorations have been out since mid-September.
I fucking hate this. #TAKE BACK AUTUMN
In New Zealand, they put out the Christmas decorations as early as Spring.
Not I if you’ve got a flamethrower!
How moronic. You can buy christmas stuff 2 months before christmas but not clothes in-season.
The shitty thing is that they take down the Halloween decorations to put them up like excuse me I fuckin need those - disposable stuff gets bought the month of, not 3 months out.I throw a Halloween party but I don’t have room to put all that consumable stuff around my apartment for months in advance.
They have year-round Christmas stores in some places. Just nothing but Christmas stuff for sale 365 days a year. I always wonder about people who go to such stores in April or May.
The only thing I could think of is people that film stuff, as if you want to make a Christmas episode or movie, you will have to film it way in advanced in order to release it on Christmas.
I don’t know that much filming goes on in Gladewater, Texas.

And that is the tip of the bizarre iceberg.
To be fair Halloween has did a good bit of creeping as well this year. Not a bad thing, I guess. I never am in the mood for it though I like horror movies and shit.
Halloween isn’t a holiday, it’s a state of mind.
I can feel it, a change in the air, the water runs colder… It’s October. But it feels like it’s about to be Christmas. I can’t help but notice the sensation, warmth yet fridged, the desire for a cup of cider by a warm fire… Even stores have started putting up winter light displays… Do not tell me the old magic has lost it’s affect on you young ones, close your eyes, breath deep of Christmas Magic…
Back! Back!!
First time seeing this symbol, what does it mean?
(Because it almost looks like an AI generated pentagram lmao)

It’s meant to represent a failed attempt to resist evil; I needed some kind of sigil to ward off malign wholesomeness, and it occurred to me I could use this - on the side of evil.
oh that’s good shit
That’s pretty cool, keep on keeping on with evil.
One does one’s best, this time of year
