So I saw this post and couldn't resist delving deeper. Turns out people decorate their homes seasonally, not just for Halloween and Christmas.
Someone even has specific dates - 'September 1 - October 31 is fall decor. November 1 Christmas decorations go up'.
Yes, most of the commenters are American, as we know they love a pumpkin, but many commenters are in the UK.
I commented that I hope all of these decorations don't end up in landfill one day and I got the ultimate burn, 'I bet your (sic) fun at parties'.
I am a boring t**t when it comes to overconsumption. I care about the absolute never-ending supply of homeware tat spewing out of Chinese factories and eventually ending up in landfill because, let's face it, that B&M 'autumn reef (sic)' sure as hell isn't getting passed down through the generations.
I know I'm preaching to the converted here, so I'll shut up now. But my parting words will be...
