    November is an acceptable time to start considering Christmas presents, I find. I'm pretty sure it was much worse last year.

    I've already got a good idea of what I'm going to get some (read: two) people.

    Preparing for Christmas before even Halloween is ridiculous. Wait at least until after Thanksgiving people.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    That may work on these simple-minded fools, but I obey none but the crab.

    Yes, it's way too early to put up Christmas decorations. My g/f and her parents who are huge on during all that flashy stuff during Christmas already put up one tree. And yes that just one, as in they will put up like 4 or 5 trees by the time Christmas actually comes.

    My reaction?

    It always does, I don't care as I'll be avoiding it, Christmas is about the Wii for me, and I'll do my christmas shopping online.

    It never depresses me when people show ambition in their attempts to entrepeneur extra money. EVEN if they take advantage of a Commercial Holiday. (Oh no!)

    As long as it's not some church giving Christianity a bad name by using Christmas for making money, then I'm all for aggressive capitalism in the American market.

    That said, I don't care if they start advertising Christmas decorations on December 28th. I'm still not going to worry about it until the 5th of December, so it's sort of irrelevant to me. If somebody tries to sell me a sock snowman in OCtober, I'll crush the capitalist's dreams ignoring the offer and continuing on to buy socks. What I went in there for. I don't see why people get so pissy about seeing Christmas decorations. They're nicer than empty, hospital pale white painted walls.

    Which means, now that I've thought about my answer, maybe I should have voted differently. Edit: Meh. I voted right enough.

    Seeing as I work in a supermarket that sells decorations I can actually tell you that we STARTED getting xmas stock in JUNE! and next year it'll be easter when we get it in! (ok so over exaggeration and messing about with easter but we had xmas lines in since june this year)

    I don't like x-mas too much I mean I don't believe or rather I don't accept the existence of Christianity. I still get "X-mas pressies" for people and recieve them but it bears no other meaning for me other than nice things.

    Yeah, no kidding. Back when I was much younger (when Regular Gas was 89 cents per gallon and dinosaurs played hopscotch with Jesus...), Christmas shopping didn't start until the day after Thanksgiving.

    Then again, we weren't exposed to the horror of Tickle-Me-Elmo Mania. Thankfully, that was looong after I started looking at Christmas as more of a Yay Jesus! kind of way and less of a Presents or Death! way.

    I have all of my Christmas shopping done. But yeah, it all starts too early. I pretty much have to block it out or it's not special any more.
