Funny because just today I noticed earthenware jackolanterns for sale at Krogers.

It is the next money-making holiday.
It is the same at The Dollar Tree.

”Tomorrow is August...so...it’s basically Halloween,” Target tweeted on the last day of the month . . . “
Well, whadaya expect from the store that allows men using the women’s bathrooms??

I was in my local Lowes today, and if you happened to look up to the rafters, you would see the top shelves are already loaded up with Christmas trees and holiday stuff.

Take a pill. It’s a fun day for kids and this isn’t the 1600s :)

Christmas to start the 25th of June and Hanukkah sometime in October give or take a few weeks that vary a lot.

Satan can only work in the hearts of those who reject our Creator. Saaaayyyyy, didn't the democrat party kick God and Israel off their party platform THREE TIMES?

If no one bought it this early they wouldn’t put it out.

HALLMARK CHANNEL airs Christmas movies on all year long. I should say holiday movies, since 98% of them glorify Santa with the exception of a few carols.

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. Halloween used to be strictly a kid's holiday. I wish it were still that way.

Well said and that is the word... Consumerism. It is ruining this country. Well, yes. But secularism is at the root of the problem. Consumerism is a symptom of the disease.
Rather than worshiping God the people are worshiping things. Materialism. Consumerism is the worship of things they wish to possess, even if it is only for a season and then the thing is discarded.
The people buy things today that will be trash tomorrow.
The introspection of a prayerful life is gone nearly completely from our society. The mainline churches allow it to happen. I can’t remember the last time I heard about sin in a sermon.

Quality chocolate (even most low quality chocolate) will not keep from July to December.
You can freeze melting chocolate but not chocolate that has been made in to confections already.
Either these 1972 people are going to eat this chocolate soon or they have wasted their money and there are going to be some disappoint people come Christmas.
