"Christmas crap"? Tex, you've got three and half months of repentance to avoid a sockful of anthracite.

Holiday is the difference between a profitable and unprofitable year for a heck of a lot of big and small US business, manufacturing, jeweler, online and b&m retail, dining, home improvement, bakeries, grocers and so on.

Millions are employed as seasonal workers.

Total agreeance! Halloween is my favorite holiday and I do not want to see anything Christmasey before November. It's rude! And it also sucks for those of us who need to carry around a barf bag during the gross holidays (that horrible bermuda triangle of thanksgiving/xmas/new years). Tomorrow is the saddest day of the year for me. Winter sucks.

Why don't they start Black Friday on Halloween? They've already backed it up to Thanksgiving?
