That's Christian Christmas. Supply Side Christmas begins in ~~December~~ ~~November~~ ~~October~~ September and ends on December 24th.
Edit: Supply side Christmas begins in September now.
I saw Christmas chocolates in supermarkets in September.
I don't know who is fighting this "war on Christmas" but they are clearly losing.
You haven't felt true pain until you've been forced to listen to 12 Days of Christmas by The Bird and the Bee a minimum of 4 times a day
Iβm not clicking that linkβ¦ care to explain the experience?
I prefer the version by The Muppets. Itβs the most tolerable version Iβve come across.
Iβm going back to work tonight after a few days off. There better not be Christmas music playing. I work in retail, though. I think Iβm screwed.
Edit: just got to work. No Christmas songs! Yay!
Is watching LOTR Extended editions a Christmas tradition in your fam also?
Iβm trying to convince my wife to start this tradition! Maybe one day.
We usually stick to the millennial classics + new Gen Alpha solid movies though.
Elf, Santa Clause | Arthur Christmas, This Christmas etc.
I'm sitting here suffering to Mariah Carey right now. TRUST ME, it's not over yet :)
Still...soon...soon.
Ok, time for your yearly six months break.
We can go back to regular music in these long, cold, and dark days. Yay?
Was? This is not over, this is still happening, right now!
Listening to Christmas music well into January is normal and everyone does it⦠right? gulp Right, guys?
No one who's ever worked retail will.
The last day of Christmas (12th day) is January 6th, so yes. Also known as Epiphany or Three Kings Day.
In my household the Fairytale of New York is never over
Used to feel more like the Ballad of Cuchullain. Then we got older and somewhat soberer.
Oh you sweet summer child! π₯²
Nah, it'll still be played until after the new year. I won't go into any retail establishment until then.
Christmas day (12/25) on the Julian calendar is January 7th on the Gregorian calendar
Hallmark Channel: But wait! There's more!
For you - my family decided to do Christmas morning on the Saturday the 28th so we can do the whole opening presents in the morning thing (we live in China, no days off for Christmas here, itβs regular work days), and itβs really throwing me for a loop.
Who hurt you?
Christmas music. My ears, specifically.
