November 2025: Apathy, Turkey, and the Inevitable Onslaught of Christmas Creep
November, huh? Another month bites the dust. Another avalanche of holidays and "significant dates" barreling down on us like a runaway freight train. Let's see what fresh hell this month has in store, shall we?
The Usual Suspects: Holidays Edition
Veterans Day. Thanksgiving. Yawn. We're supposed to pause and reflect, right? Honor the troops, give thanks for our overflowing plates while half the planet starves... Sure, I'll get right on that, after I finish doomscrolling through Twitter and mainlining caffeine.
And then there's Thanksgiving. Ah yes, the annual celebration of gluttony and awkward family gatherings. Turkey, sweet potatoes, and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade—a monument to consumerism disguised as wholesome entertainment. I mean, who actually watches that thing anymore? Is that still a thing?
Celestial Spectacles and Manufactured Fun
Oh, and we can't forget the celestial events! A Super Moon/Beaver Moon (whatever that is), meteor showers... Look, I appreciate a good light show as much as the next guy, but let's be real: most of us will be too busy staring at our phones to notice.
And the "fun national days"? National Sandwich Day, National Love Your Red Hair Day... Give me a break. Who comes up with this stuff? Some marketing intern desperate to generate engagement? It feels so manufactured, so…corporate.
The Real November Horror: Christmas Creep
But here's the thing that really grinds my gears: the creeping tendrils of Christmas. It starts earlier every year. By November, the stores are already decked out in tinsel and fake snow, the radio stations are blasting Mariah Carey, and we're all drowning in a sea of forced cheer.
Advent starts on November 30th? Seriously? Can we at least make it through Thanksgiving before we start with the "peace on Earth, goodwill to men" BS? It's exhausting.
And let's not even get started on Daylight Saving Time ending. Dark at 4:30 PM? Thanks, I hate it.
Is This All There Is?
So, November 2025. A month of holidays, celestial events, and manufactured fun. A month of forced cheer and creeping commercialism. A month that feels increasingly like a prelude to the inevitable doom of December.
I guess I'm just getting old. Or maybe I'm just tired of the relentless, soul-crushing march of time. Or maybe, just maybe, I'm starting to realize that all this "holiday spirit" is just a giant distraction from the fact that the world is slowly but surely going to hell in a handbasket.
So, What's the Point?
It's just another November. Another reminder that time marches on, whether we like it or not. And another excuse for corporations to separate us from our hard-earned cash. So, yeah, pass the gravy... I guess.
