Wait until OP realizes that Halloween is equaly pushed by capitalism 🫠

[–] vale@sh.itjust.works 17 points 10 months ago (1 children)

"Equally" is not a word I'd use. It's not pushed nearly as much as Christmas is

I’ve never seen a Spirit Christmas store.

I've seen dedicated Christmas stores before, and you're ignoring how every store becomes a Christmas store after Thanksgiving.

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world -2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Name your Christmas store instead of making one up I can’t argue with imaginary businesses

Name your Christmas store

gestures broadly

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world -2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Typical Christmascell can’t name a single Christmas store.

The gestures broadly is more of a take your pick it’s not a trick question kind of answer. If you need to know the names of some random stores I’ll pick some. Walmart, Costco, target, home depot. These were selected at random from a top 10 retailer list. Now I think what this person was saying is that these all become Christmas stores during this period of the year. Yes they still sell other things but there probably isn’t enough Christmas things to dedicate to that size of a store. So they make 20% of it Christmas crap and keep selling the other crap because they know it’s profitable. They do the same for Halloween but probably to a lesser extent

You still get pop up Christmas stores as well. They're not a chain or anything just privately owned stores where they lease out an unused shop for a month or two just to peddle allsorts of Christmas stuff from it

How many Halloween movies are there? How many Christmas movies?

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Halloween has 13 movies. There isn’t a single movie just called “Christmas”.

I’ll take my Nobel Prize via mail.

It would be a good title for a movie about christmas
