The makings for Christmas decorations are already out at various chain arts & craft stores.

Satan can only work in the hearts of those who reject our Creator.

Hilary George-Parkin (good lord, is that her actual name?) is behind the times. This crap has been going on for 20 years, at least.

I’ve also been wondering what the deal is with Halloween stuff in August.

Costxo has had halloween stuff out for two weeks. Christmas stuff by mid-September likely. Our Thanksgiving is October 14 this year.
To: rintintin
Because 7,8,9.
Sorry. Wrong joke.

That does make sense in that it generally takes you a couple of months to do up a craft. Longer if it is a intricate one.
One day I will get that needle point done.

Why is Halloween starting in the summer?Tomorrow is August...so...its basically Halloween, Target tweeted on the last day of the month
Because Holidays (Holy Days) have been totally separated from their origins and purposes
Every holiday now is the same. They have become feast of consumerism and reasons to throw a party.
The reason for the feast of All Saints Day has been totally lost in our secular society and stores like Target have put the target on your wallet.
The more God recedes the more Mammon emerges.

Adults who behave like children have appropriated Halloween. Also part of it is the take over of the Hispanic culture with their hideous Day of the Dead celebration the day after Halloween.
To: rintintin
Because “adults” love this “holiday”. , Its another excuse to get drunk and play make-believe. Like Mardi Gras. It’s been taken over by older people.

“Its been taken over by older people.”
Interesting observation. There seem to be fewer and fewer kids out trick-or-treating in my part of town, for a few years now.
To: txrefugee
Yes. Hispanics and Latinos are unbelievably superstitious. That’s why they’re all Catholics.
