Any shops, companies, or people doing anything vaugely christmassy before the beginning of december need shooting.
And the next fundie who tells me to 'remember the real meaning of christmas' gets it in the neck. I celebrate the pagan bits: Food, Alcohol, Tree and Presents.

I can understand if people set up in late November, but any sooner seems ridiculous.

What makes me sick is people calling it Xmas. It is called Christmas. I quite enjoy listening to Christmas music year-round and enjoy seeing the lights and trees.

Christmas stuff before Thanksgiving is stretching it too much IMO. The retail stores and outlets like to push it earlier and earlier ever year to get their profit season started earlier I guess...

So you're that guy, with the headphones on, who's always on my bus to work bobbing your heading over and back.

lol

Now, I agree retail-wise, putting stuff out before Halloween is pushing it, but I don't see anything wrong with having the music playing while walking around in stores (though that music is meant to guide your shopping ...) and other non-commercial things related to Christmas. :)
