Christmas Commercialization


Many people believe that Christmas is becoming too commercial. An affect of this has been Christams starting far too early. Lately, it's been starting before Thanksgivingin which is ludicrous and unecessary. Stores are starting sales sooner, Christmas music is being played on the radio too soon, and etc.

I think the early sales are good because it lets parents get shopping out of the way ahead of time. That way they don't have to rush and shop last minute. On a different note, I think playing Christmas music on the radio this early is ridiculous this early. I've been hearing Christmas music before snow has been on the ground! It just snowed here today and Thanksgiving isn't until next Thursday. Radio stations should wait until AT LEAST December, if not waiting for within two weaks of Christmas.

I had to touch on this because I've been hearing a lot about this topic lately.....
