What follows is the feeling of emptiness and despair that comes with the ending of any major holiday. But Halloween means more to those of us that reside in the hallowed halls of Culturally Significant!

The Brute Squad loves Halloween and everything that comes with it.
It's not just Halloween but the fall season in general that makes us feel all warm and moody inside. The thing is Halloween is not even cool in the tomb before we seem to be bombarded by artifacts of the winter season.
Candy and
pumpkin beer?

Christmas trees are being sold an aisle away from where the Halloween decorations are 50 percent off!
Don't get me wrong, I love Winter. I love Christmas time. I put up trees. I put up a Festivus pole. I gorge myself on latkes and rugelach (although It doesn't have to be Hanukkah for me to do this). But this seems too soon.
What happened to Thanksgiving? Turkey day? The Official holiday for eating too much and passing out?

Inner thought:
This is the third time in this article
I've mentioned heavy indulgence.
Why do I have overeating on the brain.
Maybe It's...oh my god...I'm pregnant.
It seems like in recent years the day after Halloween has lead straight into winter with fall ending prematurely and we at Culturally Significant! want to rectify this. So enter..

Thanksgiving does seem to get a bit lost in the post-Halloween/early-Christmas shuffle. We celebrate Christmas from the day after Thanksgiving until after New Year's Day. We call it Christmastime, so we don't just wait for one day and get down when it ends. But, as for your late Halloween posts - can't wait!
ReplyDeleteRight! Christmastime celebrates the days surrounding Christmas Day (including Three Kings Day), but I think crass commercialism has taken advantage of the Christmas season that even our American holiday, Thanksgiving, is brushed under the tree skirt. There's no anticipation anymore. I feel like I'm being slapped in the face as soon as I walk into a Joann's or Michael's and see garland and tinsel everywhere.
