Halloween is barely over, and people are already freaking out about Christmas. There is no rest. Here are 25 reasons why the holiday season in NYC has just gotten too ridiculous:
1. There are only two times of year—Christmas, and Not Christmas.
2. Not Christmas time is getting shorter while Christmas time is getting longer.
3. That Christmas red ornament-looking sculpture by the WTC is there all year round.
5. First it ate Thanksgiving.
8. Seriously, people were eating turkey while camping on the sidewalks outside of Best Buy last year.
10. Honestly, you saw at least one Christmas-related costume last night, right?
13. And the stores are lapping it up.
14. There is Christmas music playing in Macy’s right now.
16. There’s no way to win. The earlier you do your Christmas shopping to avoid the madness, the earlier you make the madness start.
17. And of course, tourists love to come to NYC for the Holiday season.
18. Times Square and Rockefeller Center are basically mosh pits.
22. Anything peppermint or gingerbread flavored makes you want to gag.
23 If you see one more Instagram of cheesey Christmas lights, you’ll throw your phone out your 6th floor window.
