A reactionary, capitalist, consumerist nightmare of a holiday for treat chasing kkkrackkers!

Under Communism we will re-edit “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” to end with the Grinch shoving that sled over the cliff before a crowd of crying Whos, and the Grinch will be declared a Hero of the People’s Republic!

We will replace Christmas with Halloween 2, the superior proletariat Holiday to the decadent bourgeois Christmas!

…sorry I work retail and this week has been utter hell. Fuck Christmas!

    Alternative proposal: you cannot buy your Christmas gifts. Everything must be hand made. The state gives everyone a day off and organises craft events.

    Seriously tho. Retail fucking sucks. You must HATE the treat brained.

      I already do this. Everyone in my family gets the same thing. Some years it sucks but I don’t care. Everyone I give presents to are adults. I don’t want more shit in my house, just make me something cool or that I can eat.

    How about we just ban black friday and create a better non racist replacement for thanksgiving with better food to act as a barricade between Christmas and Halloween?

    In fact this new holiday could even be about the conflict between Halloween and Christmas and the dark time of capitalism when black friday ruined the whole holiday season

      That’s right. I have a lot of grievances to air, and I have no means to air them during our current holiday season.

    Under communism there will be many more new occasions to celebrate and we will distribute them more evenly around the year too.

    Good. Fuck all this consumerist nightmare bullshit.

    However, you’ll have to rip Yule from my cold, dead hands.

    Prepping my store for boxing day sales rn. I’ve had one staff member quit with no notice and two called in sick all last week. It’s made my life hell, but I support them all. Honestly fuck this business. If I could afford to I’d do the same

    Can we add in some multi-day holidays/festivals? I feel like we’re missing the spirit of true bacchanalia by needing to be back to work the next day. Our ancestors would want us to have tomorrow off too

      This is the answer.

      We need more holidays. If Feudal serfs could get wasted for 3 days at the Feast of Saint Somethingorother, every few weeks, then I deserve to daydrink every now and then.

      We don’t need to abolish Christmas, we need to retvrn to Christmas tradition by taking the last two weeks of December to drink and harass rich people.

    You will be required to go to eat a succulent Chinese meal at a lunch buffet and then go watch a movie. Carryout/Delivery & a movie at home is also acceptablepirate-jammin
