Christmas themed commercials

Of course, this early Christmas advertising has been going for many years, so it becomes less startling every year. What is more interesting to me is how other "seasons" have done the same thing. Take Halloween for example. Didn't this "season" begin well over a month and half ago, in fact around mid-September, with pumpkin spice and candy ads? The other one is Valentines, which begins in January. Of course this is all a huge chase at the advertising dollar and nothing more. In the meantime, consumers are falsely led into believing that their lives should revolve around these false holidays, except for Christmas of course.
 
In August 2016, McDonald's already had their Pumpkin Spice McCafe advertised. Currently, an ad runs at the supermarket I work for. It's for pumpkin and/or spiced products sold for the fall season. The ad ends with "Like fall, once these favorites are gone, they'll be gone until next year!" Problem is, the ad started running in mid-September! Yep...Fall would soon be "over" when it hadn't even began! :mad:

Also getting this back to TV...I saw a Best Buy ad over the weekend which was advertising Christmas set-up or delivery. :(
