WAR ON CHRISTMAS Update
🕑 Added 2019-12-24 14:56:17 +0000 UTCHey folks!
So I decided very last-minute to do a video on the War on Christmas. I basically made notes while doing my annual 'watch weirdos complain about Christmas and laugh' a-thon to amuse myself, and then realised I'd written most of a video script by accident. Then I made some very poor decisions while out buying props.
However, it won't be done in time for anywhere near Christmas, or possibly even New Year's since I have family to visit and such, and putting a video about a season out so late feels weird. So what I've decided is to finish it when I can, put it up just for you folks, and leave it unlisted, and then post it for real next Christmas with maybe a few updates.
I find it very funny that the only way for me to get a Christmas video out on time is to make it almost a year in advance. Let me know if you'd rather I put it up for everyone right away once it's done lol
Thanks so much for your continued support, and I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season ;d

I take you have second thoughts about this video.

You're amassing an army of creepy elf dolls? I do not see a problem with this strategy, if I'm honest.
it becomes christmas as soon as you post a video
I'd say just post it anyway! Seasonal conventions be damned.
Post it when it's ready, Harrison

Confuse everyone and make them do a double take on the calendar

As a patron for all of two minutes, I vote post it when it's ready rather than waiting. I've enjoyed all your videos regardless of timeliness, so as a fan I'd want it now. As a creator, I also might not be as enamored with something I did a year ago, so I'd like to put it out there when it's fresh.
Of course you should make it a public post. ”Thought xmas was finally over? Or perhaps you only enjoy the concept too early/in dec? Think again!”
I, for one, will be ready to wage the War on Christmas all year round. I hope you enjoyed your **HOLIDAYS**!

I know! Even worse, he covers most of the same videos as me! AAAAAA

Oh no, Internet Comment Etiquette beat you to it.

Delay it for a year, let it build clout.
I’d say put it up, could frame it as like wrapping up the season?

If you can get it out for the 6th then you'll be just in time for Epiphany. The 5th would be the last day of Christmas.

Good luck with this

Merry Kropotkin, Hbomb. It'll be out when it's out. I guess there's something funny about releasing a christmas video after new years, so you could always joke that it was intentional and play it off that way

that is the most cursed shopping basket i have even seen, great job!

I'd like you to put it up with plenty of time to go before Christmas so I can passive aggressively share it at people who think you're not allowed to say Marty Christmas any more.
I'm honestly stoked! Making gifts always takes a little longer but in the long run they're so much more fun 💖

I recently got a friend to start watching you on YouTube. If you hold off the release of the Xmas video I can torment him with secret knowledge.
Yeah, a "I got this ready just on time [for Xmas]... *looks at calendar* FUCK" type joke always makes me laugh. xD;;;

Put it out for everyone. Otherwise I won't be able to reference it for a whole year :P
Chris Scott
Yeah put it out when it's done. It's always the season to point and laugh at the squealing of the little right wing piggies about their Starbucks cups or whatever
Spencer St. James
Christmas is a concept, untethered from the mortal concepts of calendars and seasons. So yeah, put it out whenever. Also, the timing doesn't matter, cause I'm probably going to rewatch it in July anyway.

If you're anything like me by the time you get back to it 11 months from now you'll hate it and never wind up posting it, so I reckon uploading in in a couple of weeks is fine. Make it into a joke or something.

I think having be a post Christmas retrospective isn't a bad idea. Looking forward to your analysis! Happy holidays.
Honeslty a post-Christmas video works fine as you get to frame it like "Now that The Great Christmas War of 2019 is over and the dust has settled, let us look back and analyse what *really* happened" or whatever.
I'm okay with more content from Harry even if it's an out of season Christmas video.
Josh Burcham
I think a post Christmas Christmas video sounds great, time isn't real anyway
Rachel Anne
I dunno about your release date worries. There’s something definitely funny about a Christmas video released out of season. Also, what if the world ends before next Christmas? Then your work would be wasted. Safer to release it when it’s ready.
Fel Martins
Take your time. Quality content takes time.
minohoonoo
Personally I'd prefer you put it out as soon as possible because I Hunger For Content. But also, game the algorithm for xmas views??
Stradiwhovius
This sounds like great fun! Though I haven't actually seen much faux-outrage this year. In fact, I'm seeing it increasingly with Easter ("They've stopped calling them easter eggs because of the muslins!!!" [spoilers: they hadn't]) so that might also be a good time.
The Worm's Hole
I really find that I can't enjoy something unless someone somewhere is being deprived of it, so I vote you hold off on uploading for everyone until next year.

Oh god, the horrifying dystopia of elf-on-the-shelf
I'd almost rather you didn't even post it till next Christmas, but it's not going to massively bother me obviously
This is absolutely hilarious, and I'm very excited to see what bad decisions you've made. Have a lovely christmas and don't work too hard!
Time doesn’t matter and neither do holidays it’s fine
Hedrigal
I think that if it still comes out in winter it will be in season.
CaitSeith
You could post it on April 1st or Easter (isn’t that a Holiday too?)

I think just put it up for everyone and own the lateness 😂
Percy C
it's a christmas miracle!
I love the make it a year in advance idea. Memeing it up to really sell it being a year old would be dope too lol
Talia P
I say put out the unedited now. Happy Holidays Harry!
Odin Linga
I really like this way of doing things. God jul Harry
Adam Foster
I think it might work out of season for everyone, I’m sure that a study into Christmas in the style you do it will result in some underlying meaning that can be applied to other topics.
Happy Holidays Harry. I honestly thinks that's a really good idea since most stuff people put out around this time is a little rushed for obvious reasons so you get the chance to really make it into a video of your normal quality.
Happy holidays Harry. It's all good, it'll be ready when it's ready, Sobek willing

Happy holidays, Bomb-o! I like the idea of putting it up next year, it's a double treat for us patrons, and an appropriate surprise for the rest! Have a wonderful time!
Happy holidays to you to. Glad to see you're not stressing about finishing it early ❤️❤️
