I'm the person who raised the subject. And I'm the opposite of the imaginary person you criticized at the end there. I'm a person living with a for-all-intents-and-purposes suicidal drug addiction, and I'm uncomfortable with the idea that amputees and MS sufferers and others under the classical umbrella of the term…

"Hey, thrifty people and creeps who are obsessed with Christmas because it's the only thing they have going on in their miserable lives, get your Christmas shit now while it's on sale!" Then, NOTHING until…
As I'm sure you all know, Halloween is the best holiday, and WE ARE NOT SKIPPING IT GODDAMMIT.
I would say "a lot" would be significantly higher than 15.
