Task 4: (Cheeky) Fire the opening salvo in the war on Christmas! Tell us the commercial, jingle, or especially irritating marketing practice you would ban and why?
Without a doubt, the fact that Christmas sales seem to be beginning earlier and earlier every year. I mean, I can totally understand busy people starting to collect gifts individually over the course of the year or trying to implement some sort of plan so as to avoid a last-minute rush. But that is leagues from stores pushing Christmas merchandise en gros from September (or recently, even August or July!) onwards — gingerbread, marzipan, Christmas ornaments, Santa hats and the whole kit and kaboodle. Excuse me .. what next? Easter in January? Thanksgiving in March (in time for the sowing season …)?
I love it! I would have done the same thing. You do have quite the variety and what fun to pick and choose from your own collection.
That was part of the idea, of course … though without Brexit, those orders would have been a lot smaller!
Now that’s a tea party!🍵🧝🏽🙂 Which flavor is your favorite?
Spur of the moment, that’s why I have so many different ones! 🙂
