Last week someone put empty beer cans in my recycle bin and cigarette buts in the rubbish bin. Well, they may be scum-sucking, bottom-feeding trespassers, but at least they sort their garbage.

Christmas ads, or anything to do with Christmas before end November/start December.
There is a Spar ad on now with carol singers and I heard a radio station play a Christmas tune last week. Yankee Candle have a six foot Santa Claus in their doorway.
NO.

Or for that matter, any holiday season (Halloween, Christmas, you name it) starting before it's officially supposed to start!

I live in Ireland and for some reason, whether or not because it may be seen as a God forbid it Pagan season, Halloween doesn't have the prominence it does in the likes of the USA.
I hate this.
I LOVE HALLOWEEN.
I therefore will continue to give it it's prominence and have SPOOKY THINGS ALL OVER MY HOUSE UNTIL AT LEAST THE FIRST WEEK IN NOVEMBER.
Santa can fek aff.

In my observation, we aren't "celebrating the Halloween season" so much as we are "having fun with the costumes, candy, and pulling pranks". Halloween is just a pretext to engage in all this fun (and funny) behavior, and of course commercialized to the extreme. US businesses will push to commercialize any holiday (or "holiday") if they think they can make a dollar off it. And I guess dressing up in silly costumes and goofing off is something we all need to do at least once a year.
Halloween is the Gay Christmas.

I may be wrong, but didn't Halloween originate in Ireland and was brought over to the U.S. by Irish immigrants?

It certainly originated from the Celts, of which Ireland is a part.
I adore it.
I love Halloween as well. I was raised by religious Irish American parents and we celebrated Halloween. I went to a Catholic school and we all dressed up in costumes that day. It was never seen as pagan, just a fun, creative holiday.
Plus, it's in October, the most beautiful month of the year, imho.

IINM, the late, great actor Edward Mulhare (of O-R 1982-86 Hasselhoff Knight Rider, as Devon Miles) was from that area.

That the Clemson Tigers, despite being 7-0, have been downgraded in the AP college football rankings from first to third, and may go down farther, seemingly because they didn't win games the way the polls wanted 'em to win (running up the score, and not allowing a single point)!
