    I mean what did you expect? You went to Crackle Barrel. It’s inventing new ways to suck.

        The name comes from the barrels of soda crackers that could be found for sale in small-town stores across the American South in the early 1900s; people would stand around the barrels chatting and catching up, similar in purpose to contemporary office water coolers.

    Might be an unpopular opinion, but I have no problem with stores selling holiday stuff way in advance of the holiday. Some people want to get their decorations all lined up, be working on crafts, or whatever. What I object to is when stores decorate for the holiday way in advance. I don’t want to see Christmas trees and snow men in October or pumpkins and witches in July.

    I don’t want to hear a goddamn thing about War on Christmas because that shit is winning, taking over and annexing pretty much everything after Summer at this point.

    First it was a day, then two days (gotta include the Eve!!) Then the 12 days of Christmas, fucking hell. So on and so on.

    And woe to you if you work Retail. Mariah Carey is coming for you.

        You and my sister. She had her tree up before Halloween (though she did decorate it halloween-y)

        Me I’m a bah humbug guy that’s got too much PTSD due to years spent in retail. I’m freaking done with it 😂

    Christ(mas).

    I thought it was bad in the UK when you start seeing Christmas adverts in October.

    There used to be a shop (two shops, actually, operated by the same guy; he now retired) in my home town that was selling Christmas stuff all year. Not other stuff plus some Christmas stuff, but just Christmas stuff.

    This August is only half through,

    But for some, winter’s soon to ensue

    So don’t Grinch on this carol,

    ’Cause we know in the Barrel:

    Crackers love their Christmas Scooby-Doo!

      But what happened to the DuFresnes? No one seems to care. Who can eat at a time like this? People are missing!

    Have you ever been somewhere and seen one of those “Christmas all year around” stores with nothing but Christmas stuff inside? Who shops in those when it isn’t near Christmas?

      Me…because it’s next to impossible t find GOOD quality Christmas stuff during Christmas season. It’s either that store, or the mass produced trash from Walmart. I’ll take Christmas item shopping in june-august over Walmart crap

        I wish Australia had a large enough population to support this kind of nonsense because this is my kind of logic
