Tired of all this pumpkin and plastic skeleton crap everywhere. Thanks, marketing ghouls rage-cry

What, are we going to start celebrating the 4th of July next? Might as well with the NATO membership I guess

      nah christmas rocks I get to see all my family and just enjoy the vibes and goodwill to all men

      plus past a certain age christmas presents become books and socks (this is one of the main reasons to keep reading as an adult)

          because halloween isn’t a holiday anyone celebrates with family gatherings, and the themes of goodwill to all men is a very explicit cultural aspect of christmas when it isn’t for halloween.

          You don’t even get a day off for halloween because it was never a big deal culturally

            I always thought it would be interesting to declare some random dates as paid holidays, and tell people to figure out their own traditions for them.

            Thats, again, a personal you thing. Around me halloween is such a family thing that people without good family ties do a friends-giving style celebration to replace it.

            And goodwill to all is a pretty common harvest celebration theme that halloween carries just as well as christmas, especially with how immensely cynical christmas has become.

            I dont get a day off for most of my holidays, and christmas is included with that. Not sure why your bosses opinion on holidays matters tho.
