I'll keep enjoying the bread themed half season. Then at Mabon I'll switch to beer and pumpkin spice.

Like, I'm edgy and witchy enough all year that I guess I don't really feel the need to let Halloween creep into summer. Also living somewhere where the trees are mostly coniferous does weaken the feeling of autumn a bit when I'm used to leaves changing.

As long as the Claus regime and its fundamentalist base remains steadfast in its mission of Christmas creep expansionism, Halloween is all that's left between us and Christmas lights going up in July.

For generations, Halloween has held the borders of Autumn established long ago in the Skellington Accords. Resolutely. Without complaint. It naturally can't even creep father forward than Lughnasadh on August 6 due to the wobble of the Earth herself, and makes no designs to even take more than a week of August. IF you feel like it.

Meanwhile, the lands of Thanksgiving are bare, stripped to the roots to feed Claus and his elves. Christmas holds nearly every inch of Thanksgiving territory, save only a small administrative territory near the capital. They laughably claim autonomy still. Thanksgiving is little more than a province of Christmas now. A weak and middling fiefdom that serves no master other than Claus.

Fight the Claus. Fight Christmas. Saturnalia io!

Happy Halloween! Happy Samhain! Spooky season arise!

I think I'm invited to someone's Christmas in July party at least once a year at this point. I had a Christmas in July party in '22. The Claus regime got me with their propaganda 😭

[–] sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

We visit Spirit Halloween at least once a week starting in August each year. My kids are obsessed.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

My wife takes our kids frequently as well. I'm good for one trip a year, but in much more focused in my shopping than they are.

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 4 points 8 hours ago

Halloween is one day, not a season, and I will die on this hill, and then I'll be a spooky skeleton but I won't come out except on Halloween

[–] Echolynx@lemmy.zip 3 points 7 hours ago

I'm not ready for this. We can't put out Halloween decorations when it's still summer weather.

[–] fireweed@lemmy.world 23 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Sorry, but it's too fucking hot most places to even think about spooky season right now.

[–] tyler@programming.dev 12 points 12 hours ago (4 children)

Costco put out Christmas stuff near us. These companies are literally completely destroying the meaning of the holidays.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 1 points 49 minutes ago

You have to go back pretty far to have the meaning of holidays not be about rampant consumerism.

[–] dkppunk@piefed.social 3 points 3 hours ago

I feel like the only companies who should have stuff out early like that are craft stores because people need time to craft things.

[–] protist@retrofed.com 8 points 5 hours ago

Costco is particularly infamous for this. They start putting out Halloween in July and Christmas in August. By September, Halloween is over and it's all Christmas

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

Like, to sell it, or to decorate the store?

[–] tyler@programming.dev 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I think to sell, my wife texted me while she was in the store the other day.

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Kinda annoying but also, just because it's for sale doesn't mean it has to be that season..

[–] tyler@programming.dev 1 points 2 hours ago

Sure, but it’s half a year away. The holiday was so much more fun when it was a special time of year when you started to see any of it. Christmas decorations weren’t sold until November when I was a kid. There’s zero reason to sell them in August except to ruin the holiday.

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

September only has one holiday and it sucks.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

It has the equinox and oktoberfests though. But yeah fake labor day is really mid. Glad to have the day off for sure, but yeah
