Probably because the text wasn't meant to be intrusive (unlike with the "SAMPLE" pics, which were made to be hard to detext specifically).

Just like with about every holiday like that these days (you know, mother's day, father's day, even christmas dammit): so businesses have an excuse to make specific offers and get more out of their customers >_> (on the upside, at least it gives people an excuse to give an expensive present once a year instead of having to give lots of presents across the year, but that depends on the person really)

Japan has it worse though, because it's customary to also give a gift to whoever gives you a present, so there's Valentine's day, and then another day where people who got presents can give back another gift. Ugh.

Christmas is about celebrating the birth of Jesus though, even though it's unlikely He was born in December. :~

Nobody does that anymore other than overly religious people. And I doubt the original intention of the holiday was to get everybody to get gifts from Santa Claus or anything like that. Not to mention that these days even non-Christian people celebrate it. It's pretty much yet another commercial holiday now.

I always saw it as a "last week of year" holiday.

Well yes, but it is there for a reason, even though people don't do it. '-'

It's not really much of a religious thing for most people any more, which is nice.

Although I would like shops to realise Christmas doesn't start in November.

On the other hand, buying stuff the Christmas Eve is the stupidest thing you can do... unless you mean the whole "let's decorate everything for the holidays" thing, then yes, that's annoying - although in some places is worse than in others. Over here it's just a few holiday decorations and that's it, but from what I see the US extremely overdoes it, including having everybody dress specially and such x_x

EDIT: also, caroling. Glad we don't have that over here.

Another thing is that it's Summer over here during Christmas, so most people is in vacation or near-vacation already anyways. Makes the holidays more useful in the long run since there's more time to spend.

Retail stores have it the worst. Christmas Season basically starts in September/October, meaning that the employees have to suffer the "Season" as an actual season in length. Poor folks.

Yeah, what is that about? Hardly any shops do it here, the few that do mostly only enforce a hat as compulsory from what I've seen, as I saw someone in a full Santa costume and the guy next to him only wearing a hat.

Yeah, although it's mostly the beginning of November here before the stores start putting up the decorations.
I can understand having to put them up somewhat early, but that should be December at the earliest, it ruins the specialness of it. :|

Christmas stuff could be up allllll year and it wouldn't bother me 8-)

Heck of a lot better to hear christmas music than that crap that the radio spouts out...

I was always super happy when Christmas was coming up, because it meant no more of that Warm 106.9 stuff (which is basically soft-rock), or Country. All Christmas All the time ~

The only time of the year that I could enjoy what was on the radio really. (this is where I was working btw)

It's been around for a while now, but nope, I haven't posted it here. It's a recolour of Akeno from HDxD.

Overly religious?

That's rather offensive. The good majority of Christians I've known all throughout my life celebrate Christmas for that reason. It's become a commercial holiday, yes, but the true reason this Pagan holiday is still celebrated, is still recognized worldwide. <_<

And as far I have known, non-Christians have pretty much always celebrated Christmas here in the states.

Meh, whatever, shutting my mouth before I offend someone.

You could argue that about pretty much any generalization really...
