It's always sparkling capitalism if you're an Atheist.
Shareholders thank you for buying many of their junk with precalculated breaking points though!

Maybe a bit of an unpopular opinion here, but how about you just let other people have their fun with a holiday however they want? With everything being a constant firehouse of shit coming at us lately, just let us be happy for a day and indulge in this nonsense.
I'm sorry but tge fact that we can't even say "Fuck Christmas" is part of the problem. toxic positivity is baked into the holiday. it adds pressure to an already dark time
historically the holiday was about banding together through the darkest part of winter, so you are definitely speaking from a place of tradition, but...
we're allowed to feel differently from the culturally accepted way of thinking about this holiday, even if we all enjoy it. fuck christmas.
For me the theme-ing of Christmas and the feeling of benevolence are things I can enjoy.
What ~~annoys~~ [tires] me and likely the intent of the post is sorta like an engagement ring, where it's commonly portrayed in media that the more money you spend, the more you 'love' the person.
Who here is stopping you from having fun?
I am! I forbid specifically him to have any fun >:3
Exactly. I believe Halloween decor spending has been catching up to Christmas decor spending, but some people get particularly touchy about Christmas. People just want some joy. No, it shouldn't have to be associated with purchasing, but many people have more money than time to invest in creating the ambience they want. There are so many more important things to get worked up about than people spending money on things that make them happy.

You don't have to enjoy Christmas, but maybe STFU OP. I am a manic depressive with anxiety and this is one of the few days a year I can really be happy.
Oh I'm all sorts of mentally ill and this whole holiday is draining on my soul and bank account. I guess different people have different experiences of life huh
Well, if so, I hope it makes you feel marginally better to shit on other people's experiences. Cheers.
I don't think I did any shitting on anyone here, I tend to do that in the toilet
