Is it about time to file that paperwork for Christmas and Halloween?

[Ozymandeas]

I appreciate my mom for giving me great Christmases growing up even though she was probably stressed out to the max with life.

I remember when Christmas carolers would walk around singing. This shyt dry now. It doesn’t even snow anymore.

It's dry now because it's the whore era.

I have lights up and so do many in my neighborhood. Also, the really lavish neighborhoods be competing and have crazy displays.

Nah just may be in your area. People still go a little too crazy with Halloween where I live. Christmas is about the same. Some people decorate they house and some others.

Black Friday definitely RIP.

No more lines. No more crowds rushing to get in. No more fighting over shyt on sale.

I mean at my age my parents already had 3 kids and my aunts and uncles had several too, so the celebrations where full of children running around in a big house, now is full of millenials and boomers arguing about inflation and vaccines.

nikka these light bills ain’t cheap no more
Running the damn AC in fukking December
Ain’t nobody got the bread to be spending superfluously like that on damn holiday lights
The deliver charge to your house from these miserable fukk ass light companies alone

A lot of people are coming in here talking about lights are up in certain areas, but that’s my fault for half ass conveying what I really meant in the OP. Of course affluent areas will always have lights and beautiful decorations, that’s nothing to them. But overall the whole Christmas dynamic seems down. There’s been some good explanations in this thread why that is though.

The gift of christmas isnt about spending or lavishing on items, its about love and spirit of kindness , peace and offcourse jesus christ birth. Its about being grateful to God for seeing you through to another end of the year with your health and that of all your family intact

I think about this a lot.

 

[Premeditated]

in the neighborhoods I've been to, folks are skill going all out


i seen this one house so deck out, all i could do was laugh and think about their light bills.

 

[Stick Up Kid]

I noticed that too, then I realized most of my neighbors are Muslim

Probably just doesn’t hit the same because we’re not kids anymore. Being a kid I could barely wait until the 25th and couldn’t sleep the night before. Got so excited the night of Halloween to go get candy. Being an adult you got bills, sick of the cold and grey skies this time of year, got relationship problems…etc

That reality hits too hard smh

Most of the holidays in the past were anchored by investment from big box retailers... macys, sears, Walmart, toys r us etc.. half of them are out of business and the ones remaining have cut back and focus heavily on online shopping.

Malls are not popping like they used to and that's were in many cities you used to find the biggest Christmas tree displays. I think it's all tied to the death of retail and the change in our shopping habits.

good

More people are recognizing the origins of these holidays

These plus people dont fukk with each other like that anymore. Families dont get together like that anymore, let alone non relatives.
