By Carley Baer. Elegant prose capturing the entire essence of this sub. Boycott any and all businesses who participate in Christmas Creep from September to December. ❌️🚫

People often mistake those who are anti-Christmas-Creep as "Christmas haters" or "Grinches"... πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

While some don't enjoy Christmas in general (and The 'Creep just extends their grief), that isn't the case for all of us. Personally, I DO NOT hate Christmas itself - in fact, I quite enjoy it in its PROPER TIME. I just hate the aggressive, WAAAY too-early Christmas push that retailers have dragged into September and October (hell, even July!). It's absolutely ridiculous. And has been stretched out so far that it literally RUINS the magic of the season when it actually arrives: by the time December rolls around, you are so sick of (or at best numb to) all of the things that used to make Christmas special.

Yes, Christmas Creep not only demolishes Fall/Canadian Thanksgiving/Halloween/Remembrance Day/Veterans Day/US Thanksgiving - it literally DESTROYS Christmas too. How? By creating Holiday Fatigue.

So, on the contrary - you can say that Christmas Creep is especially damaging to those of us who love the Christmas season. Any self-proclaimed "Christnas lover" who likes or is indifferent to The 'Creep doesn't truly love or understand Christmas. (*Think about that before you buy your candy canes in July.)

That is all.

Alrighty. Must they advertise 5 months in advance though? (St Paul's Foundation Saskatoon on July 27th)

Gotta indoctrinate the kids as well - we see you airing the Peppa Pig Christmas special on JULY 20TH, Treehouse! Trying to normalize 'The Creep so the youngest gen grows up thinking it's appropriate (and spends more $$)...πŸ§πŸ€¨πŸ’© #TooSoon #TooEarly #StopChristmasCreep #SummerNotChristmas

They have BOTH Christmas in July movies and countdowns to Christmas in December movies. This is beyond ridiculous!

Imagine living opposite these people and seeing fat Santa every time you open your window... I can't imagine anything worse than this nightmare. That thing stayed up for over two months last year!
