When I'm Prime Minister I'm going to make this a priority (sod the economy).
No Halloween stuff in the shops in bloody July, nothing Chritmas until after Halloween, or preferably bonfire night. And please make bonfire night an actual thing again.
Chritmas starts so early now I'm already over it by September.
Is anybody with me?

Where do you live where you’re seeing Halloween stuff?

Haven’t seen it myself. Usually see Christmas stuff first before I see Halloween anything.

Tk maxx here in Ireland has had Halloween stuff since June. dunnes stores has started putting out their Halloween stuff this week. kids are not even back to school yet. even before they finished shops had back to school out. its shocking I think. life goes quick enough. I am with you no Halloween till Sept no Xmas till Nov.

Absolutely. Except I don't think you are going far enough. No Christmas stuff in shops until the start of Advent and it has to remain in place all the way through till Twelfth Night.

I love Christmas and Halloween but completely agree with this. I'm trying to get better at living in the moment and appreciating the good bits of all the seasons rather than obsessing over a few.

I saw Halloween stuff in a shop last week. And last December I saw Easter stuff in a shop between Christmas and new years. It’s fucking mad. Mad.

I mean, I’d ban Christmas till Dec but other than that, you’ve got my vote too.
