There's nothing sad at all about celebrating each holiday in their own time.
Will you eat leftover turkey sandwiches tonight? Celebrate New Year's Eve during Midnight Mass? Christen a child still in the womb? Advent doesn't even start until December 3rd.

Just to brag that I made a leftover turkey sammy last week! (the same day I took down my Halloween decorations)
I am having visions of the congregation popping Champaign at midnight... All-in, like the winning locker room after the Superbowl.
If my smoker hadn't broken, I would probably have smoked a turkey this past weekend.
Our congregation bumped up a couple things by a week so that we could celebrate 4 Sundays of Advent without running into Christmas, because Christmas is on a Sunday this year.
Can I rant for a minute? Yeah, you can't object in time so I'm going to rant. I had a friend last year (pre-thanksgiving) ask our group chat for suggestions to add to a holiday playlist, and I threw out this piece
now you see that image and might think "clearly that's a Christmas song", but fans of Peanuts / Charlie Brown / Snoopy films know that song is the signature theme song for the franchise, also appearing in other films, such as A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.
It reminds me how there are a few Advent songs that some people have decided are Christmas songs, and so they get really annoyed when they hear them before December 23rd.
Agreed! The only reason Christmas stuff makes an early appearance in advertising and retail is because corporations want to stoke our spending as it is good for their bottom line. There are some people’s traditions to xmass decorate for Thanksgiving and that’s their prerogative, but I for one, could live without seeing Santa and such in October just fine.

So, when in your estimation does the 'season' start? Halloween? Labor Day? Fourth of the July? Why bother taking down your lights? Ah! That's the ticket! "No honey, I've not forgotten to take down the lights, I'm right on time to start celebrating next year's!"
365 days of Christmas each year
At least we have a day off every 4 years.
365 Days of Christmas Each Year. It's the name of a Christmas production my nephew and the kids in his Sunday school did a while ago.

Just to be clear. Christmas is on Monday this year. Wouldn’t want anyone to miss it based on false internet information.
I was in the Philippines a few years ago. They started Christmas season full on in September. They don’t have Halloween or Thanksgiving there to get in the way.
Sorry, yeah, Christmas Eve is on a Sunday this year.
Lol!

If the jolly perverts could just keep it in their pants at least until black Friday, that would be fine with me.
You can also just ignore them and let people like what they like.
Well in that case, I wish you a merry Shark Week and a happy Toyotathon.
If you're celebrating those right now, good for you! I would* sit down and watch a marathon of DVR Shark Week TV with you if we were remotely geographically close. Would you let me wear an ugly Christmas sweater with a shark on it?
I don't follow toyotathon well enough to know what time of year that typically happens. Aren't most automakers about to have a bunch of holiday deals anyway?
*Lol probably not, because you're an internet rando and stranger danger says that's a bad idea. But we get along well enough here I am a little bummed out that it isn't an option.

when you put up Xmas decorations for Halloween
You're delicious after several hours in a smoker with cherry wood smoke, and potatoes and gravy.
Except brewing equipment and ingredients, right?
Ha!
Me: I can’t stand the over commercialization of the Holidays. Since when did Thanksgiving turn into Black Friday Eve?
Wife: Where are you going?
Me: Homebrew store to pick up some supplies.
^^Hope they're having some good sales!
