    It’s capitalism yes but it’s also the encroachment on Halloween by Christmas

    The so called “War on Christmas” is a lie but it is also projection from the perpetrators of the very real War on Halloween

    I have joined the War on Halloween on the side of Halloween

    I am Halloweenpilled, Spookypilled and Skellingtonpilled

    I am ready to do jihad for Halloweentown and become Jack Skellington

      I feel this. Around the start of October I was seeing more Christmas bric-a-brac than Halloween stuff at stores within reach. debord-tired

        I went to Lowes two weeks ago to buy a wall switch and I browsed the Halloween section near where you first walk in. Most of it was already clearanced to half price or more in order to make room for Xmas stuff.

        Shit’s expensive too, even with the clearance prices. I always wanted to deck out my house for Halloween, but I’d be spending a paycheck or two to keep up with my neighbors, and I’m terrible when it comes to crafting and DIY.

          gotta start somewhere, and you’ll get better by doing. even if it is totally amateur it’s going to have more heart than some plastic thing stamped out an ocean away
