Bro I've seen/heard MULTIPLE Christmas ads already

I even saw a Christmas stand in a store

Who is buying Christmas stuff in OCTOBER?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

Shit sells best in November. The earlier they sell it, the more money they may make.

Supermarkets here in Germany are already full on Christmas sweeties.

Is this a cultural thing I'm not understanding?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No. It’s an idiot thing you’re rightfully rejecting.

We start cristmas on the first of September here in Germany. And you will pry my Gewürzspekulatius out of my cold dead hands.

At least share one with me...

Also they don't play the christmas music, its just as soon as it starts getting colder they go from grill mode into christmas mode. Where instead of grill stuff you can buy christmas stuff and fondue. Also we don't really have Thanksgiving and a lot of people aren't into fall stuff like pumpkins, so for seasonal stuff they go straight to Christmas.

like yin and yang, but grills and christmas decorations

Walmart went full in on their Christmas section like two+ weeks ago.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

of course they did why wouldn't they

eventually they're gonna reach the point of never getting rid of their Christmas section

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Same with Lowe’s. You can’t even get Halloween shit now, even though it’s several weeks away. I went into Kohl’s on Tuesday and it was all Christmas music playing.

Must not be in the USA

It's too late. She's already here. My local Walmart threw out all the outdoor stuff in the garden section and put up Christmas trees, decorations, and lights.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Bro it's not even Halloween yet

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Christmas is hawt this year.

[–] menemen 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Still good. In Germany the sale of Christmas sweets and decoration started in the last week of August. It's just ridiculous. I think we had almost 30°C when I first saw it.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Or the 200.covers of Last Christmas. Seriously. Why? One time.they played 3 back to back, all different. It must be super fucking cheap to license or it's got "buy shit" subliminally caked in it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Christmas is about buying shit these days tbh.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Always has but why that fucking sad fuck of a song? why is it pushed so goddamn much?! I must know.

I'd accept Maria's as the only Christmas song anyone is allowed to play if it meant that they never played goddamn fucking awful Wonderful Christmastime ever again!

[–] PunnyName 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I prefer Xmas to just be year round, without the concentrated music.

Just dilute it. I don't care when it's in stores. I care that it's beat into your head for a couple months and then poofs, only to come again next year.

Also, stop making egg nog only around Xmas! I want it year round as well!

Oh, you mean on black Friday?

More of a Manheim, STO and old school crooner Christmas kinda person.

Christmas with me is weird, because Bing Crosby will play all relaxing then suddenly this.

It's, "Objects in mirror MAY be closer than they appear," dammit!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Actually some do say are. My dad's rear view mirror says are.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Shooooot. Flipping walmart put out the Christmas crap like 2 weeks ago.

[–] witheyeandclaw 1 points 11 months ago

You say that like it’s a bad thing.
