Re: Tired of seasonal and holiday capitalistic bullshit

I don’t really see ads so I guess maybe that’s why I’m not so fatigued. As someone who loves decorating for holidays, I was ecstatic about fifteen years ago when decorations for holidays other than Christmas started getting a lot more elaborate and numerous. I buy a little bit more each year. But I skip over the cheap plastic shit and instead focus on creative decorating so that even if I have the same stuff as others, it doesn’t seem like it. I’d love to say I decorate so neighborhood kids enjoy it but really they only like the cheap plastic shit. If I bought 20 inflatables for Christmas I’d be the most popular neighbor. I own zero inflatables because they’re ugly and overpriced and fragile and require me to interact with them frequently. I have a homemade sleigh with 8 reindeer made out of plywood, instead. I put a mannequin in a Santa suit in it. My Halloween decorations are extremely popular but only with adults. A homemade demon (using a Walmart costume) and scary fence and a bunch of graves. The graves are the same mass produced ones everyone else has but I present them as a graveyard with dead flowers in a grave vase, skeleton arms reaching up from the ground, a ghost floating up from another.

Sorry. I have Big Feelings about this. I actually agree with you but also think there’s room for people like me who enjoy doing creative things with holiday decorations.

Yeah, my whole neighborhood is really into decorating for Halloween and honestly I love it because it's just fun to walk around and see all of the decorations that people put up. My neighbor down the street is super hardcore about pumpkin carving and always does a setup of probably 20 different pumpkins all over his lawn every year. It just makes the whole neighborhood feel festive when so many people do their own displays.
