Jumping The Gun?

I know I mentioned counting down till XMas, but don't you guys agree that it's a bit early to start showing all these XMas specials and playing round the clock holiday music?

 

I mean, it was a few weeks before Thanksgiving and stores were already putting up their stock of holiday decorations. I know Black Friday's always been when it is (or at least has for as long as I can remember), but do we really need to back up the holiday season to early November? I know you really can't market thanksgiving when it comes to decorations and merchandise...but does that mean we need to rush the holiday season?

 

My birthday's in November. Let's market that. People can go buy decorations and gifts for me to celebrate my awesomeness. I may be a bit biased, but I think it's a good idea.

I'm tired of stores marketing Christmas in early November, and radio stations playing music too.

 

Traditionally, the Christmas season starts after Santa rides down in the New York Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. So after that I'll live with the holiday stuff.

But I wouldn't mind if radio stations didn't start until December 1st and didn't play a lot of it until half way to Christmas.

You'd be surprised what can be marketed. There's a house not too far from where I live who has lights and decorations probably year round for every holiday celebration. Until recently, I hadn't gone by there in awhile, so I wasn't sure if it had changed or not; needless to say, there was Thanksgiving stuff up.

 

I can't even imagine the electric bill of this place... or where anyone finds time to make those changes. :blink:
