It was cold this morning. You all know what this means.

Oh, I’m not happy about it. But that doesn’t change the fact that her one eye opened, and soon, we will be engulfed.

My dude, we're well into September.

I’m already seeing Christmas stuff in Target, Home Depot, etc. Wild.

Home Depot near me clearanced out the Halloween stuff in September last year to make room for Christmas decorations.

My local Costco already has snowmen and Christmas lights out for sale. Halloween stuff is basically all gone.

Amen. dark days are ahead. Use caution around televisions and radios. And for fucks sake, steer clear of the shopping centres. Liberate yourself from auditory tyranny - arm yourself with the best noise cancelling headphones or ear defenders in your reach - keep them close for at least the next 3 months, ESPECIALLY behind enemy lines. The terrorists can be around any corner. Stay strapped

what does that mean?

For me it’s Santa Baby or whatever the hell it’s called, that song is just totally creepy.

I prefer "Grandma got worked over by a mobster". As an Italian American, it really speaks to me.

honestly if you're like me and the millions of other tortured survivors of the hellscape known as A Retail Job, 99% of Christmas songs are just pure PTSD trigger

fortunately I can still somewhat enjoy Carol of the Bells and most of The Nutcracker because they just go so fuckin hard

also what didn't get ruined for me by being blasted over a blown out speaker in a loop for 8–10 hour shifts, are various metal Christmas tracks that are too spicy for grocery store grandmas 🤘

It's Feliz Navidad for me. Catchy enough to get stuck in my head, repetitive enough to be annoying while it's in there.

So, you live on Earth? Way to doxx yourself! /s

I do that after Halloween myself.

The real spirit of Christmas is godless consumption, not Jesus.

You and me both!

Though before I engage in my pagan idolatry for Yule based nonsense, I'll do some other pagan things for Halloween.

Or even a lotta.

Fr. She's heavy in my rotation and as someone with complex feelings about Christmas, her annual return to the spotlight is a bright spot. I enjoy her unironically.

Well that implies a lot!

This worst kind of meme, the kind we'll never get away from because it's not at all based in popularity but in record company contractual obligation.

::: spoiler spoiler Boop! :::

Why can't they just sell Halloween shit year round? Halloween is nicer.

Hottest day of the year in the UK, Xmas shit been put out in the shelves. Halloween stuff was already out and selling 🤷

Irrelevant. She ages super slowly because they refreeze her come Mid January.

Edritch Horror Mariah Carey is immortal

The pumpkin spice campaign is in on it! You’re only ensuring she will rise again.

That's the true horror. It's like a recurring nightmare where you're powerless to stop it. Also you can't wake up

Idk, your reaction sounds pretty sincere.

Mariah Carey eating moist pineapple pizza would be a good meme series

I will never understand why we go through the motions with these things

There is no obligation for you to "go through the motions", others chose to do so for things like "fun", and as a form of socialising. Rather than making a pointlessly sour comment, you could easily have ignored the post, likely making both your, and everyone elses, day better.

We actually don't have to participate in these pointless pop culture memes.

Yet here you are, participating. Curious. I am very intelligent.

I will never understand why we go through the motions with these things

And yet you make a comment that not only participates in the "pop culture meme" but also doesn't contain a single question in any kind of attempt to understand.
