Is it because I'm getting older....?

November 1st.
I saw one and was instantly pissed off.
This is why I started celebrating Halloween in September.

Doubly depressing in the UK as we have high street or online brands advertising stuff they don't even have !

If you go check them out they nearly all say they're 'expecting stock by...." presumably because they want you to 'pre-order' thus securing them a sale IF they get it.

Don't get me wrong, I do understand what you mean; BUT at least christmas adds are cheery and tend to be up-beat, as oppose to political ads which are frequently insulting and filled with half-truths

My local supermarket had a small Christmas section up middle of September already.

They're soooooo long as well! The Amazon one is like a film!

I don’t watch any adverts so I cannot relate to this problem.

Malls here finished decorating over a week ago 😤

Me too

It used to be that we got annoyed with the immediate transition on Black Friday. Decorations going up on Nov 1st is way too much.
There's such an economic push behind it.

They've been waiting since the beginning of October to bombard us with this stuff. And I think it's just because you know Santa Claus doesn't pay the bills.

you too and you're not even Jewish

I would at least go through Rememberance Day first....

you guys are allowed to say "Christmas" without getting "cancelled"? 😱
