    Anybody gonna' celebrate Christmas II next year? A new holiday on May 23rd created by retailers, think "Love Day" except for real people. I think it sounds like a good idea anyway, not much to look forward to in may anyway :D

    Edit - sorry re read it, I'm still confused.

    Simpsons episode has a 'love day' to do with getting rid of rubbish... what connection has that with this 'Christmas II' day?

    The reason there was so much trash was because of "Love Day" which was a manufactured holiday by shops to get more money, it was like a second Valentine's day they decided on to get people to spend more money, now in the real world marketers are doing the same thing with Christmas, hence Christmas II
