    Calvin and Hobbes meme: Steven Crowder does not deserve a meme format. Change my mind.

    No worries here. Just showing that alternative formats exist to anyone who doesn’t want to post Steven Crowder.

      2 days off? I’m pretty sure that’s dependent upon your job. I only have 1, but that still is 1 more than Halloween!

        My company gives the entire Dec 24 - Jan 1st off. It’s like a free week of vacation, and it’s awesome.

          I did that for my employees this year.

          Pissed off I’ve client who wanted us to work on their project this week because it’s when they are least busy.

          When I demanded 20k to pay out my guys to make them miss their week off they backed down.

    Halloween is more fun in your 20s without a doubt. Going out to bars and parties dressed in costumes is a blast. As a little kid, I liked both but I think Christmas was a bigger deal. As an adult with kids of my own, Halloween is all hassle no fun but Christmas is still fun

    I like a feasting holiday, I love making all kinds of food and serving my family. Thanksgiving and Christmas are for me.

      It’s not goth by default, ergo it’s worse. But we can fix it.

    Can we stop using the Chowderhead version of this meme? The shitbag doesn’t deserve it.

    Definitely appreciate this meme otherwise

    Historically … Christmas about 150 to 200 years ago was more like Halloween than modern day Christmas

    Which is the main reason why Charles Dickens ‘A Christmas Carol’ features ghosts and spirits. It was a time to tell dark stories and legends to scare people because the Winter Solstice was known in pagan times as the ‘darkest time of the year’ … the winter solstice is the longest day night of the year and the belief was that on that day was when the forces of darkness had reached their peak and that the light was now returning.

    Early Christians co opted the same period to correspond with the birth of Christ partly because of this same or similar messaging.

    If you look up modern historians analysis of what time of year Christ might have been born, it turns out it was probably in the spring time rather than during the winter solstice.

    EDIT: I meant longest night not longest day

    Hear me out, okay?

    Girls in sexy witch costumes, or any sexy Halloween costumes are fine. That’s great and everything, sure. But 99.2 percent of them are at the Halloween party with their boyfriends. And those guys aren’t even having a good time. They’re just standing around as accessories, dressed as Gomez Addams, or whoever else. So, like, whatever.

    But when you see a girl in a fully scandalous sexy elf costume, or a sultry Mrs. Claus outfit? Or the somewhat rare (yet more pervy) sexy reindeer costume?

    SHE FUCKS.

    THAT GIRL FUCKS.

    Believe it.

    EDIT: if you can’t figure out how the reindeer tail is attached to the costume, YOU’VE GOT A LIVE ONE ON YOUR HANDS.

    Honestly, Halloween is becoming as bad as Christmas. Just like the Christmas season is far too long, I’ve noticed Halloween is creeping longer and longer. It has a long way to go before it’s at Christmas levels, but during the Halloween season, it is starting to feel just as pervasive. Halloween themed decorations, movies, parties, etc… Halloween to Millenials feels a lot like Christmas was to Boomers. Always chasing that dream of bigger, better, perfect.

    Both are silly made up holidays that promote values that I find largely offensive, especially at scale. The only holidays that I personally value are holidays that celebrate the history of a group and/or person, and slutoween/caplitalistmas are the exact opposite of that.
