To be really angry with On the Beach for using Christmas song in ad?

I've just seen someone posting about On the Beach and it reminded me how angry I get every time their advert comes on the radio!

I've never used them to book a holiday so my anger is slightly more trivial...I can't believe they're using a Christmas song in March!

After googling it I found out they actually brought out the advert on TV over Christmas. I didn't know because I don't have a TV but I do listen to LBC on the radio every day and in the last couple of weeks I've been hearing the On the Beach 'holidays start sooner' ad during every break and its driving me mental that they're forcing me to listen to a Christmas song in March!!

I'm very strict about not having Christmas songs on until at least 1st Dec every year and to be forced to hear a Christmas song every day when its not Christmas is really pissing me off! I turn down the radio every time it comes on. I don't know what they think they're playing at. Anyone else feel that a petition is needed to get them to stop this madness?

I totally agree that it's annoying - to play a Christmas song outside of Christmas maybe works gimmick-wise for a few months, but ALL YEAR ROUND! I want to headbutt the people responsible for this every bloody time I hear it!

Yes holiday time is better than Christmas. Clever play on words.
Everything people talk about on the beach the more publicity they get. They must be loving it.
