Is no one gonna mention that this guys Christmas tree is already up and it’s not even Halloween yet?

The mark of a psychopath for sure

This pic is super old and probably was posted around Xmas time originally.

It’s already Christmas in Australia.

That’s the 12 days: Dec 25 - Jan 6.

Jan 6 is All King’s Day, when the 3 Kings visited Jesus…aka Epiphany…aka the first day of Mardi Gras season.

I’m not religious, I’m just from a culture where Mardi Gras is very important. And imo, we should all celebrate a day for no other reason than to eat, drink, and be merry :)

Edit: Holy shit, just realized I’m replying to the wrong comment lol

Jan 6 being All Kings Day is oddly appropriate now.

That's not really a thing in the usa outside of catholics. Alao never heard ot called that even in Catholic school, visitation of the magi, that's what we called it.

Christmas STARTS on 25/12/yy and ends on 6/1/yy. As it is 25/10/25 we are stil two months away from the start of Christmas.

There’s a song called the 12 DAYS of Christmas. I will never understand those who think it’s a 3 month season.

I've created a helpful reference for this line of thinking:

12 days of Christmas | 12 weeks of Christmas
"They're the same picture"

You’re welcome to your opinion but that doesn’t mean you’re right.

Tough crowd here.

I was joking.

Not everyone celebrates Halloween

TIL. Not that I'd ever thought of crossing their paths, but my kitties thank you just in case.

Blessings to your babies 😍

Do not feed citrus to cats, do not feed chocolate to dogs and do not feed avocado to parrots.

Researching safe and unsafe foods should be a basic prerequisite to owning a pet.

[–] FunctionallyLiterate@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 days ago

True, but we both know what should be frequently isn't. In my defense, I'd never try to give my cats something that wasn't labeled specifically for them, anyway - although I'll acknowledge that's still no guarantee.

Do not feed pineapple pizza to an Italian.

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Chocolate is also very poisonous for cats, but unlike dogs, they're usually smart enough not to eat it. I think lilies are the only things that they occasionally chew on that is poisonous to them (and they are extremely poisonous to them).

[–] 000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Funny that you'll have to stop dogs from getting to chocolate, while cat out here just knows it shouldn't eat citrus

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 2 points 4 days ago

Another proof that cats were never fully domesticated and still retain some of their primal instincts? I mean, besides them murdering all local wildlife if let outside.

I see someone’s getting poop in their shoes for Christmas

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 6 points 4 days ago

They hate citrus! Citrus spray is how I stop them scratching furniture.

it's not a force field, it is a tangerine field
