People who try to start Holidays early suck

I'll start by saying my Gf is someone who just this morning said she wants to start putting Christmas stuff up after Halloween now. I don't get it but whatever.
My thought though is that the world is largely shit for anyone who actually pays attention. And if some silly lights and cheap decorations are going to allow people to ignore that shittiness for even a little while, then have at it. It's not bothering me at all, and it gives them joy. So why not?

Christmas absolutely starts for me at least, right after the end of Halloween. Christmas only lasts 1 month, so I'm definitely going to get as much out of it as I possibly can, before it's summer and hot outside again for months on end
For fuck sake the world is a pile of shit, let people try and find some joy and happiness where they can.
If you want to be miserable or just not deal with it then don't.
What sucks are people who are so jaded and miserable that they get legit salty when others are enjoying something.

Honestly, this complaint sounds so whiny. Like, who cares if someone else wants to celebrate Christmas in November. Or Halloween in August? Letting people enjoy what they enjoy even if it bothers you is the human experience. No one is forcing you to enjoy it as well.
I don't know why some many people are assuming that if you don't like it yourself you also don't want other people to be happy. Other people's enjoyment is not part of the equation for me, I just don't want to experience it myself. And it is forced on all of us to some extent. I have to work to Christmas music for 10 hours this weekend. It's not the end of the world, but I think it's a perfectly reasonable thing to complain about. If other people like it, I truly am happy for them. Nobody here is trying to take anything away from anybody, jeez.
We put our lights up and purchased our real tree the weekend before Thanksgiving this year. Sorry OP?
Let people be happy.
As far as I'm concerned, spooky season begins Sept 1st. Then from 11/1 to Thanksgiving it's just time to enjoy Autumn and then the Thanksgiving meal and family time.
Christmas season began today.

Christmas season starts on Nov 1 at our house, because it takes several weeks to get all the decorations up.
When I worked at Walgreens we actually had a killer playlist for Christmas. In general the entire playlist year round was great.

Yea seriously… I'm not saying people should be arrested for this lmfao.
Era likes to pick and choose when "let people enjoy things" applies and doesn't

Its just not really worth responding to the insane vitriol I'm getting for a snarky post about holiday bullshit lmfao
The people more organised or responsible for the occasion start earlier for less stress
Like I know if my mum and aunt weren't prepping months in advance since my childhood none of the family would get shit, the men don't even know what presents anyone has or make any of the food

Why do you care? You sound like the annoying neighbor who needs to complain about everything.
Live your life and don't worry about what other people do bud.
Maybe that tells you something that every miserable thought doesn't need to be posted.

I do wonder how people who cry so hard over nothing like this respond to actual problems.
Life is precious OP, try to enjoy as much of it as you can.

Go fuck yourself. I've hugged my dead friends mom while his pale corpse layed next to me. I know what "actual problems" are. Jesus christ.

The famously reasonable, justified, and level-headed resetera gang-up. And I'm the miserable one?
I feel like the start of Halloween season being bumped up to August has a lot more to do with that being the time when you actually find decor in stores compared to October where aside from candy & maybe costumes good luck getting anything because that space has shifted over to Christmas already
Valentine's Day is all of January and February. St. Patrick's all of March. Easter all of April. Fourth of July all of May, June, and July. There's the whole year covered
I would if I could. Surprised you care so much about things like holidays starting early when you have known actual pain in that case, usually it puts things into perspective,
The OP was specifically not about retail but about individuals.
I don't really mind, christmas decorations are a silver lining to me against the early darkness.
Once it hits noon (12PM) ET on Thanksgiving Day that is the official start of the Christmas season as decreed by Macy's.
Sorry, those are the official rules.
"Insane vitriol" is beyond hyperbolic. The majority of replies in this thread are variations of "ok whatever" and lighthearted ribbing.
Combined with your other replies in this thread I really think you gotta take a step back because you are getting way too worked up about this.
yes
it's a discussion forum
you need to be ready for people to disagree with your bad take
if the only responses you'll accept are "i agree with you and you are correct and wonderful", then this isn't really the medium for that.
OP understand or realize or admit that halloween and christmas season bring in stores money for various reasons so no point in fighting business policies unless you got something that's gonna make them more.
On a personal note my mom does it because besides the cold winter we use to have making it hard to put up stuff outside once it gets too cold we do it cause some in the family like remembering my dad and his favorite time of year.
Not gonna be crass in saying but this shouldn't others people harmless enjoyment shouldn't be tilting you.
