Guess they better stop selling Christmas stuff then.

Yeah. I feel like people forget why we do Christmas lights and all that stuff this time of the year. It's because of Christmas.

My Dad insists on Merry Christmas and he's never compromised on it.

I really thought we were nearing a point for better or for worse where everyone had their own version of Christmas, kinda like everyone has their own version of Jesus. Even the Atheists get in on it.

I thought Christmas was getting more and more commercial every year. I remember the egg nog switching to "happy holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" (though I could be misremembering that).

Definitely I wanna say I remember when Christmas didn't go on sale before Halloween, but now I'm not sure.

Which reminds me, I just don't understand the drive to run Halloween shows in mid summer. I'm not even thinking about Fall, it's not even the 4th of July yet!

Festivus? For "the rest of us?"
For those who are not Christian or Jewish, don't celebrate Kwanzaa, but want to have a big mid-winter celebration anyway. Seinfeld gets the credit, George's dad IIRC.

Went to the dollar store today to pick up an ingredient I needed for our Christmas dinner and saw they have Valentine's merchandise out today!
