I for one endorse September-Ween full throatedly, if I have to listen to Christmas music from November to January, everyone else can deal with an expanded spooky season.

Spirit Halloween isn't a costume store, it's home decor lol

It’s got nothing on the big box hardware stores now.

Ever since the 10 foot skeleton happened things have been nuts.

Can we just extend it in the other direction? Like from Oct 31 to Dec 24?

Would you be ok with a limited spooky season if it came with a ban (enforced by the death penalty, no trial), on Xmas music outside of a 36 hour window starting at noon on Xmas eve?

Yes. In fact, I would give them 2 week pre-christmas for Christmas music if I can have 2 weeks of true spooky season.

And that's as a former retail worker that has been driven to the point of insanity by Mariah Carey.
