    I’m starting to see Christmas in July to be advertised. It won’t be long before retail pushes that as a time where we socially have to buy gifts for people and we won’t even know why lol

          Forcing Christmas music on repeat to retail workers is similar to that scene from the men who talk to goats movie, where a prisoner is in a cell with Barney the big purple dinosaurs ‘I love you’ turned up to volume 11 on repeat lol

          Sorry, I heard of early Christmas music and got triggered :p

      Like 30 years ago my grandma used to host a family reunion in July, and we always called it Christmas in July. And then my grocery store had like 3 shopping carts of Christmas decorations labeled Christmas in July, but it was all old crap they wanted to move. What are companies trying to advertise with this that you have seen? Just curious, I don’t see many ads honestly.
