- TeMPOraL 1y agoYou're forgetting about Halloween, Black Friday/Cyber Monday, and the most recent Singles Day (11.11); the Commercial Calendar is steadily squeezing the Christmas Season into December and out of the rest of the year!
- timeon 1y agoCommercial Halloween starts during October just after or parallel with October-fest. It ends before end of October because people buy things for an event before it starts. End of Halloween is when Commercial Christmas starts. There is no time for actual advent or winter calmness in general.
- Ekaros 1y agoWouldn't winter calmness be January or February, maybe March? You know coldest time in general on Northern Hemisphere?
- timeon 1y agoI think you are right, that seems to be the case.
- tjr 1y agoI decided to indulge in a Dunkin' pumpkin donut this morning, what with it being late October and the weather actually now fall-like. Apparently they have already discontinued them!
- toast0 1y ago> the Commercial Calendar is steadily squeezing the Christmas Season into December and out of the rest of the year! We can only hope. The Christmas song containment fields are weakening as we speak.
- tialaramex 1y agoRight, my local grocery store moved Halloween stuff to where Diwali stuff was near the front of the store, and immediately put Xmas stuff where the Halloween stuff used to be, in a week's time it'll be a whole aisle of Xmas.
