I just saw that Hershey's Kisses commercial on TV where the candies play "We wish you a Merry Christmas" a la bells. Why? It isn't even Turkey Day yet. I'm actually hearing Xmas music on the radio when I'm on the road in my beer truck. Again, why?

Nov. 3rd was the first one I saw. T'was a Walmart commercial.

Last quarter of the year is Holiday time, in which they just throw every commercial of every holiday at you.

It's called a bad economy. Start early and hope us (Big business) can possibly make money and not end up like Circuit City.

Co-signed. It's the exact same thing every year. Here's a Dino Comic to help us put it in perspective:

In any case, it's just good marketing. You can't market Christmas 3-4 weeks prior to Christmas. You have to start marketing 3-4 weeks prior to when people start preparing for Christmas. Which is the day after T-Giving. So, naturally enough, we see the ads, commercials, music, hype, etc. now. I'd be shocked, and a bit disappointed in the intelligence of our collective marketing industry, if that wasn't the case.
