Give us a break

By , December 26, 2007 8:14 am

I think I saw heart-shaped Valentine’s Day balloons in a Walgreens this morning.

Barf.

And did anyone else notice the “Didn’t get what you want for Christmas? Come to our After-Christmas sale!” and “Time to take off that holiday weight!” ads on the television yesterday?

Hi. While I am opening my presents, I don’t want to see an ad about “not getting what I want.” And I definitely don’t want to see an ad about “losing weight” while I am working on my third piece of pumpkin pie.

It just seems like every year, advertising gets pushed forward. Soon enough, we will be seeing Christmas decorations in the stores in July!

When will we get a break?

    I first saw Vday stuff at Target on the 14th – two whole months early for such a small holiday?!

    It won’t stop until Christmas is 365 days of the year with an hour or two devoted to each of the other holidays.

    kapgar – sounds like one big party – or one big headache!
