Has christmas gone to far?

I feel that Christmas stealing more and more time every year. There is a radio station already playing Christmas music and its not even thanksgiving yet.

And people keep coming out with Christmas albums……Kenny G has a Christmas album and he is Jewish for Christ sake. The whole damn holiday is one HUGE ploy to drain the money out of the world’s pocket and put it into companies.

Don’t get me wrong I like Christmas but I don’t like Christmas in November. If Christmases destructive path doesn’t change it will be Christmas all year long.

Who feel Christmas should be put back were it belongs in December.

Christmas advertising wouldn't spill out into November if people didn't buy the products.

Should we pass a law saying no Christmas before November 24?

Ads for Christmas related things have been going on through November for as long as I can remember. Not really a new thing, and I don't have a problem with it.

I couldn't agree with you any more. The Christmas Holiday has become too commercialized.

Think about it this way, for every plastic santa you buy a poorly-paid factory worker in China gets enough money for his family. See Christmas IS about giving. 😉

I'm glad someone else caught that.

As for Christmas having gone too far, Christmas is a holiday season with no ability to dictate the time duration or manner in which it is celebrated. People however (those involved with the commercialism of Christmas) have indeed gone too far, not so much in the time in which it is celebrated, but more so how it has been appropriated as a holiday about buying as much sh*t as possible or making as much money as possible in a two month period.

I myself like christmas and refuse to let others sh*t on my christmas cornflakes.

**** you two grammar Nazis. A million possible jokes and you have to spoil it for us. Well, it was hilarious anyways.

Christmas gone too far? Is that even possible? Christmas is a wonderful time of the year. Who gives 2 shits if it's all materialistic. You don't have to conform to it. If you don't pay attention to the advertising then you just don't notice it. We're only a month away from Christmas and I've barely heard anything about it. Simply because I've not been paying attention. It's not like you have to actually have to watch the adverts on TV and decorations in shops are hardly loud and outish. Not yet anyway.

Stop being realistic think about the Chinese for a change; its not you whose working in sweatshops getting a penny an hour.

Yes. In this country it's more of a marketing gimmick as opposed to a religious holiday.

Considering the Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year and most people are buying their Christmas presents it is only fitting that they are trying to get them in the mood.
