In the Philippines, the Christmas season kicks off on September 1, which marks the start of the “-ber” months.

I'm wondering where I'll be getting a decent sized real tree this Christmas...

National Azabu have already confirmed that they won't be getting a shipment of trees this year due to labour shortage in the US.

Halloween only marks the start for putting up public christmas decorations. (Literally, and very punctually: I witnessed a public christmas tree put up on Oct 31 ... at midnight.)

Shops usually start way earlier. Nitori has christmas decorations on shelf since mid-September

sheesh. that's crazy

Western calender is more popular in Asia than in West. Eveything is way ahead and all for business but humanity is lacking when it needs it.

This jumping the season is insane. This year I noticed "Back to School" merchandise promoted before classes had recessed for the summer. The underbelly of capitalism and commercialism.
