AIBU to think that Christmas ads should be banned until at least after Halloween?

[Pleasedontdothat]

Yesterday, on the first of September, I saw a billboard ad for mince pies and have been bombarded with online ads for advent calendars of various descriptions. WTAF? We haven’t even got past the autumn equinox, the clocks haven’t changed, what is wrong with people?? When I am world dictator all mentions of Christmas would be banned until 1st December (actual advent), but until then would it be too much to ask to ask retailers to show some restraint at least until the Halloween tat is out of the way?

Yeah, it's a bit weird when people say that. But I think most people decorate with fairy lights rather than real candles these days. I might put a couple of candles on the mantelpiece and light them occasionally, but that's it.
