I was at the mall yesterday to go to the movies and the place was already all decked out. Who needs a month and as half to do Christmas shopping?

GODDAMMIT, submitter! Now I'lve got that frickin' song stuck in my head WEEKS earlier than any other year!

People who play that godawful Christmas Music shiat before mid-December should be beaten with lead pipes.

F**k you, Subby.

Yep. The local paper had an article about several seasonal shops opening up at one of our malls (Valley River Center), one of them being Hickory Farms.

At least they waited several days after Halloween.

Elect me as president and i will outlaw displays/music/etc for any holiday more than a month away. Or, require that you can have two holiday things going on at once. So you have to take down your Halloween shiat before you can put out the Turducken's Day shiat.

Also, i'll outlaw campaigning for an office until the election in question is less than a year away. This four year campaign cycle stuff doesn't help the people.

If your town has a street with five names, i'll fix that too.

Indeed.

I only hope that they lose listeners by pulling that shiat.

I don't give a rat's ass about the phony 'Christmas' crap, shoved down our throats each and every year. SSDY. Tired of buying crap, cheap crap, cheap chinese crap and tired of the whole mess. No problem, be good to one another, show some love and emotion for others, but the crapfest is just that - a junkfest.

Unfortunately, since they keep doing it every year, I wouldn't get your hopes up.

With the exception of buying SW:TOR for a friend, I'm not buying anything for x-mas this year. Everyone will get a card and a donation will be made in their name to OWS.

Cuz if there's anything America needs more of, it's Chinese made crap to satisfy their hoarding habits.

I was in Sears two weeks ago and they had already set up their Christmas Tree area on the main floor.

I'd fave you, but I don't know if I can do that to someone named DrippinBalls.

Stop it, people. Stop farking shopping. The bankers and the sleazy corporations and the dickheads who want to keep bleeding us dry want us to go shopping. They're waiting for us to say, Fark it, this year I'm going to break out the credit cards again and buy some stuff, this recession has gone on long enough.

The people at the credit card companies are holding their breath, waiting for we, the "consumers", to save the economy. Because they know we need our fix, that no matter how bad everything is, no matter how little money we have, we want to go and buy shiat until our little hearts flutter with joy.

fark it, let it all crash. It's time for the consumer economy to die.

Sounds like money well wasted.

You assume your friends and family support your political beliefs.

Sounds like you're using your political convictions, such as they are, as a reason for not having to give thought to choosing appropriate gifts.

So be it but don't fool yourself into thinking you're doing for any noble reasons.

In the past I turned off any radio station that played that stuff until after the new year began. If I walk into a store and hear that crap I turn around and don't shop there again until after the new year begins. At the beginning of this year I just kept getting my groceries at the hippie coop instead of going back to the other supermarket. I also didn't put the radio stations back on my preset stations that had started playing that crap too early. If any of the new radio stations on there play that shiat more than a couple days before X-mas they will go away for good as well. I didn't hear any of it at the coop and I bought my X-mas food about 3 days before, so I can live with it if they play it for a couple days.

You need to complain with your wallet, just like how you need to vote with your wallet. Nobody cares about how much you grumble. They care when you stop showing up to spend money. They care when you vote for someone else.

I'd like to guess the reason why Christmas-time comes earlier and earlier every year is because people just want to extend the most wonderful time of the year! You silly willies! Don't you folks have any Christmas spirit?!?!

Fark Christmas, fark the fake bullshiat whitewash "peace on earth and goodwill toward all" crap people plaster on for one month and promptly say "Fark You" to the rest of humanity for the other 11 months of the year, and fark Santa Claus in his fat, jiggly ass with Rudolph's antlers.

Pretty much getting what Id expect from the usual fark atheists, who can barely handle one month of The Good Word a year. Im expecting that the Dems will be passing some kind of godless holiday soon in some form of law to "provide balance". Oh wait, I forgot! Thats April 15th,,,,

I'm usually burned out on it by the second week of December, hate everyone and am sick to death of Christmas.

I'm just glad I rarely go near a mall anymore.

Dammit, thirded. There's a flashback I didn't need... just be glad you never worked at a store that played it on a CD stuck on repeat for weeks on end. I now know why there are higher suicide rates during the holidays.

I guess it's karma that Paul wound up becoming Jewish and will now have to listen to gawd awful Hannukah music.

Yet another awesome thing about internet radio. You want christmas music? Well do a search for christmas music and everyone else can listen to things that don't suck.

Who's that coming 'round the bend?
It's Santa and his reindeer friends.

Home Depot was decorating a week before farking Halloween. Complete with tons of fake snow. In Orange County. I laughed as I drove to the beach with my board.

*punches snowshovel right in the damn mouth*

Not only was it poor trolling, but damn it I'll punch anyone who even pretends that we need Christmas music anytime before black friday.

And I like Christmas and Christmas music! Just not.......outside of the day after thanksgiving through new years.

You had me until you cast aspersions on my favorite holiday,Thanksgiving. It's the only holiday of the year worth celebrating. What a premise: you give thanks to whatever space ghost you placed your bets on, or dispense with all that mumbo-jumbo and just eat turkey (and I love a well-prepared turkey) and watch football all day. Plus, you get an extra long weekend. What's not to love?

cyberspacedout: I guess it's karma that Paul wound up becoming Jewish and will now have to listen to gawd awful Hannukah music.

You'd think he'd stick with the "god" that made him a Beatle. If I was his jilted god, I'd fark him up.

Kiddo is getting stuff this year. I anticipate her having fun ripping open the boxes and playing with the paper. She won't care about the little stuff.

Family is getting homemade gifts. Neighbors, baked goods.

The only thing I need to buy is a few more ingredients and some packaging. I'll spend less than 100USD on roughly 25 people.

/spent 100USD on turkeys this year alone
//oh god I cannot wait to deep fry some birds
 
2011-11-06 01:44:43 AM
I learned how to can this last year! Those of my family who have expressed interest will receive a hefty jar of blueberry, strawberry, or rhubarb jelly. All with scented homemade candles and a charming needle point. And subby can receive a hefty jar of jelly right upside his GODDAMNED HEAD because he's a farking cocksucker WHO PUT THAT FORSAKEN SONG IN MY MIND!!!!11!!!

For me, it's not that I hate Christmas. I love baking cookies, decorating the tree, etc. What I hate is what it's become - a greed filled holiday that revolves around purchasing crap.
