I saw some (rather decent) Christmas lights going up in October. By now I try to see them as "Winter lights", as long as they are not themed too clearly or - which I think should be punishable by cutting them off the power grid - blinking lights in all colours.
Merry Thanksgiving! 😋

One of the biggest radio stations around here switched to full time Christmas music over a month ago. I was ready to murder someone.

There is certainly a special place in Hell for whoever cooked up that business plan :D

I guess the premature christmas decorations is worldwide (at least to countries that celebrate it).
We dont have thanksgiving, but on 18th of november we have the proclamation day of our country. So up to 18th its all in patriotic setting and usually switches to Christmas decorations and lights after that. But there were some stores which put up some decorations already in october.
Honestly I dont care that much. I like christmas. And I know this is even more contraversial, but I dont even mind Mariah Carrey coming out of her summer slumber to overtake all radio stations :D

I like Christmas, too! I just want for each holiday to get its due. It's kind of a "let's be present and celebrate what's right in front of us and not spend 3 months focusing on an upcoming event and miss out on all of the goodness that's happening around us in the meantime."
Don't get me wrong -- I go pretty strong with the holiday lights. I just wait until December to set it up, as things should be. :D

Oh for sure. I completely agree.
For us the Christmas starts only in december as well by preparing advent wreath. Before that its still autumn and as I mentioned, patriotic month of November.

That's why I always didn't understand the premature New Year's rush, especially the music design in the shopping center, so it's not without reason that I always wear my full-size headphones.

Here (Sheep Pain) there's no tradition for xmas lights housewise. Maybe a couple things in the windows, like vinyls or climbing santas with a few lights. Maybe some balconies go full blown with lights, but it's a balcony, not a 2-stories house the size of an air-carrier. But they wait till december, usually the 8th, which is the traditional day to put the Belén (from Bethlehem, it's a miniature nativity scene). Towns and cities also turn on the xmas street lights around that time. There you see the budget of the whole town. The richer the town, the better the lights. Of course. So, visually, here they don't go full xmas-mode until the first week of december has passed.
Commercially, you'd say visually it's the same. But you can enter any big mall and see xmas stuff everywhere for sale already. Since october, any decent supermarket is full of all kinds of xmas sweets and related food and I bet every year they start sooner. I've been seeing that stuff since mid october this year. Sooner or later you'll see it in september when kids go back to school.
Here, people who put their small xmas details in their windows too early are also heavily criticized.

Thanksgiving is not celebrated everywhere. Most people in European countries don't actually know when it is.
So for us having xmas decorations up this early is perfectly justified.
But i get your frustration. Sellers pushing you for spending your money has no limits. Take care!

In recent years I've been seeing xmas decorations appearing in stores even BEFORE HALLOWEEN! so I totally get your frustration! Anyways nice jigidi! Thanks and happy Thanksgiving!

Considering how cheap lights have gotten, and the push for ever more holiday decoration, I figure many people start decorating for Halloween, and just switch out a few of the items for Thanksgiving, and then again for Xmas.

Thanks for this Jigidi, haven't solved one for quite some time, as everyone sticks with overcomplicated bullshit riddles now
Comment has been collapsed.
Lol...yeah, I'm not a fan of obtuse puzzles. I like puzzles, even hard ones, but if it's unclear what the point even happens to be in order to try to solve it, I generally don't bother engaging. I'm not interested in trying to figure out what strange niche logic the author has employed where the connection as to what the puzzle is and why it was written exists solely in their head. 😆
Give me a challenge, but make it based upon logic so that the challenge is in the solving, not in "I'm trying to figure out what it is you even want for me to do." ;)

Yeah, totally not sure why AI did that! It was definitely not part of the prompt! I'm wondering if it was referring back to my insane art I made last year for the post-Halloween event, where I did have Halloween creatures fighting Santa. It was supposed to be a team-up between them and the turkey, and instead it merged the two together in horrifying ways. :D :D :D
In case you don't remember these from last year...

Which AI did you use?
Interestingly, I just had an experience with Copilot that went with me asking it to generate a picture with Christmas theme. Originally it started out ok, but after I added a few more prompts, some pumpkins began to appear. Eventually they got really numerous so I told it explicitly to remove all pumpkins. But it still continues to generate pumpkins! All the while saying "picture free of any pumpkins, round orange elements with stalks, or Jack-o'-lanterns on the way!" (the latter descriptions were from me because I was desperately trying to specify it to free the picture from pumpkins.)
Eventually I gave up and started afresh XD

Well, those irritating people who put up their Christmas lights before Thanksgiving has even arrived are at it again.
Hah. Those people are almost a blessing compared to the freaks who had their Christmas stuff up in October already...

When i used to work at a company that distributed Food & Drinks to other stores and petrol stations Christmas Biscuits, Sweets etc would start arriving in mid July 🙂

Shops must make stock in advance, that's logistics and time for the manufacturer to make stuff. They do the same with things like ice cream and water before the summer, Easter decorations before Easter etc.
I'm talking about dumping this stock in front of the customer so much in advance :D

We would also start delivering them to stores, so the Point of Sale, from mid-August.
I personally am not bothered by early X-mas stock.
I could eat Spekulatius for example all year round ;)

Are those Christmas biscuits? In Poland you can find them in Aldi or Kaufland all year round :D
I don't like them fresh, but can enjoy after they are open for a few days to absorb moisture 😋

We don't have Thanksgiving here but seriously all these lights before it's even December? C'mon!
A lot of people in the North of France celebrate St Nicholas on December 4 so I give them a week before that but more???
I wish I had a turkey to smack them down.

Well, those irritating people who put up their Christmas lights before Thanksgiving has even arrived are at it again. So, I thought I'd create a fun jigidi with a Thanksgiving turkey giving Santa a proper smackdown and telling him to wait his freaking turn! 🤣
GA is for Aztech: Forgotten Gods
Good luck
Go solve the Jigidi to enter the GA
