For the past few weeks, I've been seeing it slowly ooze into store displays. When I was a kid (which was only the 90's!) Christmas shit didn't seem to appear until right before Thanksgiving. Now it's out in fucking August. WTF?

Yup.
I've encountered people who start counting down to Christmas just after new years... It's getting earlier and earlier. As are Easter eggs... Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"
[Cranky old man voice]: I remember when Christmas didn't start until November 1st, the way Jesus intended.

November 1, Crossless? December 1!!!
I agree with the OP -- before Thanksgiving is just WRONG. Before Halloween . . . we need

I saw christmas stuff in a store a couple of weeks ago. It's always annoyed me that christmas is overshadowing fall festivals. Bad enough it overshadows thanksgiving, but halloween too? I want to see scarecrows and pumpkins. Not snowmen and reindeer. Is it any wonder some people believe you should take your xmas decoration down on the 26th of December?

The christmas stuff usually starts creeping in around September time here in the UK. Even in my lifetime, it's gotten worse
