My dad showed everyone a racist joke ("it's a picture of Ronald Reagan babysitting Obama!" *shows picture of Reagan feeding a baby chimpanze*) at the dinner table (with equally-racist company over) and when I said "Wow, that's racist" he incredulously demanded to know what was racist about it.

I thought you were Even Then and wondered what a Finnish family was doing talking about Reagan.

Anybody else think Christmas advertising shouldn't start until Black Friday?

Yeah. This Christmas Creeping is really getting on my nerves. It is barely past Halloween!

Let us enjoy Thanksgiving before throwing us all into Christmas!

Also, I'm inwardly dreading every day that goes by that it might be the last that Starbucks offers its Pumpkin Scones.

Hey, at least you have a (commercializable) holiday you can point at as something between Halloween and Christmas.

It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

i wish it'd start on december 1st. in france, halloween is a really new holiday (used to be allsaint's day and the day of the dead that was honored, and wasn't a big deal outside of florists). on the plus side, we've got cheap candy, decorations, and costumes on sale in october. on the downside, it's also triggered christmas creep. we're on november 2nd, and stores and businesses are already starting to deck themselves out in "winter cheer". nevermind that snow is uncommon around here. so far, no merchandising to be seen outside of in-store decorations, though. might wait one or two weeks.

say, quick question for any americans living in the southwest. despite the desert, do businesses use fake snow in their storefronts? and is it ludicrous, egregious, or well done?

Didn't live in the southwest, but I lived in a perpetual marsh, and despite the fact that most of what we get wouldn't even qualify as a slushie, let alone actual snow, I think I can paint an...adequate picture.  The short answer is yes.  The somewhat longer answer is that they do use fake snow, but its rarely used outside and, when it is, its usually large department stores (ie: Macy's) that do it.  Its use really depends on the store in question and who's in charge, so it can span the entire gamut, but most of what I've seen is at least tastefully done and confined to its proper area.

Seeing Christmas advertising in November makes me want to kill Christ in his cradle all over again. Jesus fuck.

Meh. I started having family talk about Christmas in fucking September. Sep. Tember. So yeah, November is okay. But I'd prefer if it waited till after my birthday.

I'm depressed and annoyed. I have no idea why I'm depressed and therefore I don't know how to fix it. At least I know why I'm annoyed: at the non-specific depression.

Do up a zombie theme nativity scene in the front yard. If you have a plane ticket outta there first, that is.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.
