When Did Halloween Become Christmas?

I mean seriously. I drive down the street and every other house has lights, decorations and the whole shebang... so I think to myself what the frick is going on? Did somebody decide one round of gifts wasn't enough? I thought Christmas was the only holiday that people wasted money on. What's with all time and effort spent on setting up camp to mimic and blend in with evil spirits? I sniff the air and the scent of sheep is near, but I still can't quite put my finger on it - and then it hits me: oh yeah, we're in America.

Sometimes I forget.
