I don't see Wal-Mart agents dragging people out of their houses at gunpoint and forcing them to buy Christmas decorations in October.

I personally know a few retail store owners. They think it's ridiculous to junk up their stores with Christmas crap immediately after Halloween, too. But they have to do it because that's what their customers demand. If they don't, some other store will, and everyone will shop there instead.

Blame the people who have nothing better to do than worry about Christmas 3 months in advance, they're the problem.

People have nothing else to do in their lives, apparently.

Nobody has hobbies anymore.

Work. Maintain self. Maintain car, living space.

People are bored. Companies are smart.

No, companies are manipulative.

Let's celebrate Festivus as it was done on Sienfeld.

Just take turns venting our grievances.
