When it starts before Halloween, it's time for a crusade.

Wait until OP realizes that Halloween is equaly pushed by capitalism 🫠
"Equally" is not a word I'd use. It's not pushed nearly as much as Christmas is
I’ve never seen a Spirit Christmas store.
I've seen dedicated Christmas stores before, and you're ignoring how every store becomes a Christmas store after Thanksgiving.
Name your Christmas store instead of making one up I can’t argue with imaginary businesses
gestures broadly
Typical Christmascell can’t name a single Christmas store.
The gestures broadly is more of a take your pick it’s not a trick question kind of answer. If you need to know the names of some random stores I’ll pick some. Walmart, Costco, target, home depot. These were selected at random from a top 10 retailer list. Now I think what this person was saying is that these all become Christmas stores during this period of the year. Yes they still sell other things but there probably isn’t enough Christmas things to dedicate to that size of a store. So they make 20% of it Christmas crap and keep selling the other crap because they know it’s profitable. They do the same for Halloween but probably to a lesser extent
You still get pop up Christmas stores as well. They're not a chain or anything just privately owned stores where they lease out an unused shop for a month or two just to peddle allsorts of Christmas stuff from it
How many Halloween movies are there? How many Christmas movies?
Halloween has 13 movies. There isn’t a single movie just called “Christmas”.
I’ll take my Nobel Prize via mail.
It would be a good title for a movie about christmas
On Halloween, they push candy and costumes. On Christmas, they push everything.
Nowhere near equally. "Halloween music" is much rarer, and doesn't get blasted in shops and on the radio 24/7 for a month. "Halloween films" are also barely a thing, and horror films don't count.
a month if you're lucky. they started blasting it a week into November where I work. I'm so tired of hearing the same songs over and over again, and the 6 different covers of "All I Want For Christmas Is You"
