Christmas Decorations in November!?

Post by Red »

So the other day I went to the store, and I saw that they already have Christmas Decorations up. Isn't it a bit too early? Thanksgiving hasn't even gone by yet, (At least in the States) and they already laid out all of their cards for Christmas celebration, like candy, gift wrap, and even some new toys. Thankfully they didn't start playing Jingle Bells, but it's only a matter of time until that is upon us. Don't you think it's a bit insane to start putting out Christmas decorations and supplies this early?

It's never too early for companies to make some money. That's what you get with commercial traditions. :D

Heh, so my job is putting these things in the store. It's ridiculous what kind of stuff they want to sell. In the Netherlands we also have Sint Nicholas, which is like another Christmas but slightly racist. Sint Nicholas brings amazing candy. (Volenta, bakkerspepernoten are vegan, did you know?)

No, but I have to say that I don't particularly like pepernoten. What about kruidnoten, are they generally vegan?

I should start erecting my Festivus pole in November
