<p>War on Christmas, 2025</p><p>In a surprise move, Halloween decided to go on the offensive. As Christmas had previously and illegitimately laid claim to July, Halloween swooped in with a Summerween invasion of August. This allowed for a full annexation of September into the Halloween season. </p><p>Halloween claims it will restore the two months should Christmas cease its illegal occupation of November and July, but it is doubtful a peace can be reached this year. As the Nightmare Before Christmas season grows stronger in 2025, there is fear that Halloween may decide to fully invade November. Thanksgiving, as usual, is silently sitting by.</p><p><a href="/tags/silly/" rel="tag">#Silly</a> <a href="/tags/microfiction/" rel="tag">#MicroFiction</a> <a href="/tags/halloween/" rel="tag">#Halloween</a> <a href="/tags/christmas/" rel="tag">#Christmas</a> <a href="/tags/waronchristmas/" rel="tag">#WarOnChristmas</a></p>
