It's tradition so of course it's a thing.

I think it's funny people view it as maybe religious. It's not anymore. Maybe it once was but not in a time anyone alive has seen. It's a commercial holiday made to get us to spend to keep the system going with a strong fourth quarter.

Tradition keeps a country strong. We see each other as one of our own if we share the same traditions and practices.

So ya of course it's a thing. Would probably be much better if it didn't start in May like it does now. It's too much. But other than that I like the Halloween into Thanksgiving into Christmas when it's done separately and not all as Christmas afterthoughts.
