As I’ve begun celebrating the solar and mid solar holidays the creeping of Christmas has gotten so much more irritating. Let the solstice celebration happen at the solstice. I don’t want to deal with winter solstice themed stuff while I’m celebrating Mabon and Samhain. It screws with the sense of connection to time and seasons.
Agreed, and that’s not even accounting for how insanely corporatized those holidays are.
I guess that you’re supposed to have fun and enjoy the celebration but after a certain point it feels like these solstice holidays have become ads.

Become? Santa as we know him was litterally a Coca Cola ad.
Become, because I imagine they didn’t start that way.
