Why Christmas Already?!

Why, Aeon?!? Why is this necessary the day after Halloween? Colorful leaves are still on the trees and you're acting like we're in my December!

This was at an Aeon I went to earlier in the month and I'm still horrified. Part of growing up in America usually means including Thanksgiving in the mix of holidays as we careen towards the end of the year, but not so in Japan. I have even seen shops transition to the Santa oriented holiday before Halloween before.

I understand they are businesses looking to make money and this is a good holiday to take advantage of with that in mind, but I can't handle eight weeks of this nonsense in my house so at least in my home Christmas can wait until the appropriate month.
