Christmas Thread -- Just in Time for Halloween

[Page]

There's Stollen for sale in the grocery stores so it's Christmastime in Germany now.

^This, and New Zealand will inevitably see things early as it's practically in the land of the rising sun; it's probably November there already. I'll add that it is commendable that it still shows symbols of the snowflake, evidently aspiring to have Christmas during Winter as if it were a 1st world country.

Well, that's one way of looking at it.

Either that's a new edition or it's not the only book that's gone all in with tractor Santa. Related, also related.

As someone who comes from a farming area, I approve this.

This is the ultimate read-aloud for Christmas in New Zealand. The rhyming text flows off the page and Deborah Hinde captures the colours of a truly New Zealand festive season.

Appealing to the New Zealand nostalgia market

If only we could get just 1% of that market....

Halloween needs to have october to it's self. Chistmas should have december and maybe the last half of november.

This is appeasement in action, folks.

Last half of November is the Sudetenland of time periods!

Here in Canada, Christmas is contained by Halloween, and Remembrance Day: I think between Halloween and Remembrance Day, that's when they phase in the Christmas stuff.

Personally, it does make sense: start getting your decorations ready after Halloween, then after the moment of silence on Remembrance Day, then you can start celebrating the most wonderful time of the year.

No, November is for Thanksgiving. Christmas should be contained to December only.

[Pax Nerdvana]

Could this have just waited until after Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving is in October in Canada so any time after remembrance day is ok for Christmas up here.

December, and not a second earlier. Seriously, I have grown to loath most things involving Xmas. My daughter loves it, though. So...

[Dakini]

It's October, therefore it is the Christmas season. I know, because I have been to a mall in October. And if it is Christmas season, there must be a Christmas thread. QED. Carthago delenda est. Christmas is theft, taxation is charity, impeach Obama.

Photographic evidence.

I know, I know... should probably hold a newspaper up to prove it's a recent photo. Don't ask why we have snow iconography in a city it never snows for a holiday that takes place in summer appearing in a photograph taken in spring.

Those look way more like leaves than snowflakes. They have stems.

Silly for you since it's spring there, but still not snowflakes.

It’s never too early to be thinking about your Christmas meal

Even in October

Christmas is a magical time

Christmas music sucks ass, it’s cold and wet, and I have to spend time with relatives I don’t like. Like hell its magical

You might be write. The Christmas tree one is probably just an oak leaf.

No worries though, I'll just steal this Reddit thread as proof instead. incontrovertible proof

[Forsher]

No such holiday.

Also, that's the entire point of the thread... is it too early?

Try a holiday in Australia over Christmas. I'd suggest here but it's still reasonably likely to have "cold" and wet here.

This would also help you avoid the relatives you don't like.

It's Christmas when Christmas music starts. I got a few new Christmas pieces today, so it's officially Christmas. Anyway, I love Christmas. The music and the fact that I can be so busy is a lot of fun, although I miss Weihnachtsmärkte.

There's Stollen for sale in the grocery stores so it's Christmastime in Germany now.

Stollen and Hawaiitoast are the best parts of Christmas.

Stollen are indeed delectable and while ham is the true Christmas meat (Turkey is for plebs... I haven't tried goose yet so I may yet be wrong) and must, of course, have pineapple to accompany it, Hawaiitoast sounds disgusting.

28 August 2019. Heatwave in The Netherlands, but the first chistmasstore (of Arnhem) had opened its doors.
Per first of September, the kruidnoten and chocolate letters of Sinterklaas were in the supermarkets (5th of December)
A week ago, all props for Halloween entered the stores in The Netherlands, and for some parts 11th of November Sint Maarten will be celebrated.

In my youth, long long time ago,skip( we didn't celebrate Halloween, October parts of the Netherlands prep Sint Maarten (with sugar beets carved as lanterns to sing songs for sweets at the door) November was prep for Sinterklaas, skip (still no Thanksgiving) and after 6th of December, Christmas!

These are both boss.

Haven't had a chocolate letter for a while. Not sure where to buy them here any more, actually.

Also, Sinterklaas is more interesting than Santa, let's be real.

Well, for some parts of the Netherlands.

It may be disgusting, but it's a tradition and I love it.

Are you saying you love them whilst finding them disgusting? Or that you love them (even if other people might find them disgusting)?

Exactly what kind of money do you think I make? There is no way in hell that I’d fly to Australia every year during Christmas time from the US.

Avoiding said relatives is hard to do when they mingle with the relatives I do actually like

Huh?

He is referencing Witch Hitler. A genocidal “medieval” magical queen who in one of his scenarios started a war, murdered millions and was defeated and despite her crimes against humanity and it being supposedly medieval Europe was simply imprisoned in a giant glass box.

You're silly waifu. I'm kicking her repeatedly. In the face.

Ouch, my toe...
