some christmas decorations are already up in stores. thank goodness halloween exists, as a powerful brick wall to stop the christmacization of wesfarmers and colesworth from occuring even earlier.

You just need to stop going to the shops, then you won't have to deal with it. Also no Christmas carol exposure!

Three reasons to love Christmas:

  1. Spending time with the people we love
  2. Partaking in our favoured vices
  3. Whamageddon

  1. Penalty rates

I think I'm winning Whamageddon. My avoidance of shops means I don't have any Christmas carol exposure, I don't think I've heard that song for years.
