...Christmas.
Yes indeed, just as the election results in 2012 spelled the beginning of the campaign for 2016, the post-Halloween hangover(whether sugar or alcohol induced) spells the beginning of the Christmas season. Put away your Sexy Nurse Who Might Have Ebola stockings and dig out something more suitable for hanging by the fireplace. Out with the ghosts and in with the elves. Forget about razor blades in your apples, now is the time to worry about Obama making it illegal to say "Merry Christmas". Had fun being grumpy about children coming to your house all night? Time to get grumpy about me making this thread on the first of fucking November(God that Ifreann is an awful bastard, grumble grumble back in my day...). Been telling your friends how the Christians stole Halloween from pagans? That was the dress rehearsal, and curtains are in five.
So have you started your Christmas preparations yet? Have you finished your Christmas preparations, you crazy person? Do you want to rant about Christmas coming earlier and earlier? Have I become everything you hate about the modern, commercialised holiday season?
Despite what you may think from my having made this thread, I'm not actually the type to jump into Crimbo so early. I'm pretty much just taking the piss with this thread. Though, my family has kinda been gearing up for Christmas for a while now. Christmas dinner, specifically. My parents and a few friends decided over several drinks last Christmas that, since one of them had raised chickens, they'd all go in on some turkeys for this year. And surprisingly they followed through. So for a few months there have been turkeys in my next door neighbour's back garden. They're a lot quieter than the chickens were, I'll give them that much.
PS: Santa isn't real. Sorry kids.
PPS: Oh, also Hannukah and Kwanza!
PPPS: Shit, isn't Eid around this time of year too?
