I can't stand it, especially the fact that all the Xmas shit starts coming out before Halloween is even finished. Then there is the incessant "War on Xmas" bullshit. The funny thing is, back when I used to tolerate it, I really hated all of the tacky light displays. Now, I think that is the only good part about this time of year. I love the lights, and it's kind of depressing when they're all taken down after the holidays.
