I was just watching TV and was surprised to see a Christmas commercial already. I know every year I am caught off guard by how early they start appearing but this year seems extra early. I was just wondering if there are any regulations on how early in the year companies can begin advertising for specific holidays like Christmas? And what other people think is an appropriate time for companies to start advertising for the Christmas season. Personally, I think Christmas commercials shouldn't start appearing before around the third week of November because by the time Christmas does come around, I am extremely annoyed with the monotonous music and lack of originality in them.
