it's likely because i'm getting older and seeing through more and more BS every year, but Christmas just feels so hollow and boring anymore. There's this huge build to it then it happens and it's like okay what's next?

Our mall put up their Christmas tree a week or two ago.
The wife went to Cost Plus today and they had a whole section of Christmas stuff out already. She spent about $200 on advent calendars and various Christmas nummies because “they may not have them by Thanksgiving”.

The government buildings near where I live already have Christmas lights up.
Just ridiculous. It was 90 degrees today. No one thinking about f***in' Christmas.

I put up programmable RGB LED lights in my living room so I can just change the colors per season or holiday Solely because I HATE stringing lights and my wife would want separate Halloween and Christmas lights up

Farm and Fleet's Toyland goes up October 14. That's actually kind of late for them.
I'm with everyone that it has gotten out of hand. I remember back when I was working at the country club and traditionally the decor and god blessed music would start to be played the day after Thanksgiving. One of my least favorite members would always volunteer to help with the setup and insist on having the music playing the entire time. I wish I could tell you that I would go in and get paid to string tinsel and setup fake trees more than that first year.
