Which of you idiots buys Christmas decorations before Halloween?

Why buy either? They are both pagan days. Christmas, with it´s commercialism and teaching children to wait for gifts from an imaginary figure called Santa, has nothing to do with Jesus Christ. Why celebrate it? And halloween......please!

A better question is which one of you people are still so dense that you play the Tammuz celebration the catholics called christmas?

If you play hallowen you´re just a complete idiot that doesn´t even deserve the breath you breathe.

"Why buy either? They are both pagan days."

Dude, I want to party with you. NOT
Lighten up already.

I buy all my Christmas stuff AFTER Christmas when it is 75% off. Same for any holiday type stuff.

wow -

this is something the OP should be REAL worried about!

WHO THE FUCK CARES ALERT!
WHO THE FUCK CARES ALERT!
WHO THE FUCK CARES ALERT!

I think it´s a marketing ploy to get people to start buying Christmas gifts for their friends and family members earlier. I think the way it works with most people is: the earlier they start Christmas shopping, the more gifts they will buy for each person on their list and the more people they will add to their list of who to buy gifts for.

I remember when it used to be considered tacky for a store to put out Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving (am I showing my age or what?!).

My hubby and I don´t celebrate Christmas or Halloween or most holidays anymore. We are scrooges hehehe. We celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, and graduations and we like to have a BBQ and set off fireworks on the 4th of July, but that´s about it.

same reason I buy my girlfriend flowers when it isn´t valentine´s day. I like to, and they´re cheaper. mind your own business.

You know there may be another and real reason why they are putting them out easrlier this year.

In a word Katrina.

katrina effected the economy much more drastically than anyone truly realizes yet.

At the current rate of death and destruction, if another natural disaster happened between now and the end of November...

And gasoline prices are after saod to be going to continue to rise even through the new year.

Point is that all this "stuff" like Katrina are going to put a very large number of people on a tighter budget and many of them simply won´t spend their money like they always did in the past. Effectively making the corporations suffer financially.

So the idea is to move the date back which they put this garbage out so they can make as much money as humanly possible for the season.

It´s early October right now. Care to speculate how christmas spending will go this year?

Imagine being Chinese and glitter spray painting this stuff in the sweltering hear July.

To meet order deadlines to get it to a cargo container by August.

That it could be shipped and get thru customs by Sept. And then trucked, sorted, warehoused, rfid´ itemized and notated into a giant tracking system.

All so that it could be on the shelf by October just to piss off the OP.

What is probably more insulting is that non christians, who have no vested interest nor belief in the arrival of the supernova with the birth of christ are making our decorations for us

Get the raw materials and make your own. Fresh cut holly and simple greens for your mantle. The best decorations are made by nature herself to honor the solstice

I don´t buy/put up decorations for either holiday.

My hubby does. He´s Mr.Griswald. Buys every new light, ornament, and glitzy christmas ´thing´ that hits the shelves, then makes the house look like downtown Vegas on a free-energy night. I just laugh and tell him how much better it looks than ANY of the neighbor´s houses, even though I´d be just as happy to pass up on Christmas altogether.
He´s my sweetie :)
