I absolutely love the Christmas season, but I do feel like the ads started a tad early this year.

Still, I like seeing them.

You have normally watched National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation about five times by now so I don't know how you can talk

An excellent point. The run up to Christmas is a very, very important part of the festivity, but this over-comercialisation actually ruins that run up. By the time Christmas actually arrives, we've had nearly 3 months of carols and trees and films and decorations.

It's like hearing a pop song we like played over and over again until we are peed off with hearing it.

It starts to feel a bit like Christmas for me when IAC starts which is next Sunday. I always feel it's around the corner then. I agree Christmas adverts shouldn't really be on till around mid-late November at the earliest

Nothing wrong with it IMO, it's just like a normal advert it's just got snow in the background or something

I don't mind them.
Just think a few of them are rubbish so far.
Lidl one is crap, Aldi one is okay..

..I guess that it's a bit like the sales all starting earlier and many offers before Christmas, they're all competing for trade, so getting their ads in early and having them shown a lot is important to them...

Ashley what you do doesn't affect nor interest me in anyway and since I was replying to Matt who was directly talking about me then not sure how you would think I was talking about anyone else anyway.

You weren't talking about anyone. You are stating that it's ridiculous to be excited for Christmas in November. I disagree with you; insert discussion.

No I wasn't stating it was ridiculous to be excited in November, I made the thread because I'm sick of the ads and my reply to Matt was because he was directly saying to me that I have normally watched Christmas movies by now, which I haven't hence I replied ridiculous not to anyone else, not to you, not to you watching movies in preparation for christmas but in reply to me having watched Christmas movies already.
