Reply to comment by James19991 in Christmas Market is starting to be built in Marky Square by 1029Dash

Tomorrow would have been fine. I just wanted a day of not endless construction while I walk around. I just wanted to see people dressed as mummies, and enjoy a night of weirdness. 1 day.
This Christmas obsession is a lot. I'm not Christian but I appreciate people enjoying and celebrating their holiday. But dang y'all. A 1/6 of the year?
It's a lot, is all I'm sayin.
I know nothing I say here is going to change this. City's got plans and I wasn't consulted. I'm just throwing some wishes on some scraps of paper into the endless whirlpool that is the internet.
I'm glad people like it. I'm just saying it's pretty annoying.

I love Christmas, but I don't like it in October or most of November until after Thanksgiving myself. However, Light Up Night has been on the weekend before Thanksgiving for as long as I can remember.

Apparently 61st Anniversary. I always enjoy it but dang if it isn't frustrating not being able to walk through Markey Square for a few weeks.
I'm there a lot and it would save me a lot of time. It's not the end of the world.
Also don't like the barriers. They should do it piece meal. A quarter at a time. Finish one quarter, move on the the next. But then again, I know next to nothing about construction and am just some guy.
There has to be a better way. Because it's an extra annoyance every year, and has been for a while.
