    Gonna get credible for a minute, all made the fuck up

    There are two Christmasses in my eyes. “Corporate Christmas”, with ever expanding Black Friday sales and Mariah Carey hitting FM radio before Halloween is even over (no really it was a thing in my area one year). Widely seen as a big cash grab and companies are seeing what they can get away with. This one causes problems but people can’t really do a lot about it other than say it’s too soon and vote with their wallet, but it takes time to change things that way.

    Then there is the more traditional “Jesus Christmas” which has been about the same over the years but has recieved some pushback from secular people. You can’t put santa everywhere but not a Nativity Scene because one acknowledges what a holiday represents. It has legal precedent so it’s easier to do something about it hoping it will send a message to corporate christmas people.
