The Commercial Nightmare before Christmas

It's not even October yet and many stores have already put their Halloween items on sale and moved them to the clearance racks, replacing them with Christmas items when Christmas is still three months away. It used to be that the day after Thanksgiving was when they'd bring out their Christmas stuff. Now this pisses me off so much. I can't stand when Halloween is overlooked and overshadowed by Christmas.

It's my favourite holiday and deserves more. I'm also pissed because as a Jewish person I'm offended by the In Your Face of Santa, don't get me wrong I certainly don't have any hatred or even dislike for Christianity, but their holiday commercialism is just disgusting to me. I'd think that it would be disgusting to them too as it shows no honour or praise for what is supposed to be a religious holiday.

So speaking of Nightmares before Christmas, Tim Burton's fantastic masterpiece is being re-released in 3D and it should be amazing. Thankfully a theatre in Park Slope in Brooklyn has all new digital projectors that my friend actually installed, which will be able to show it in the full glory it deserves. It comes out on October 20th, check out the trailers.
