When I was little (okay, I was never little) --- When I was a kid, Christmas commercials were like the Savior's birthday-version of Super Bowl commercials. They were plentiful, expensive, creepy, and flashy.
I guess sooner or later some marketing execs realize that January (the Super Bowl) and December (uh, Santa Bowl) were close together. Which in turn meant, "Hey! Why spend twice as much money on commercials in the same month-long block? Let's just do Super Bowl commercials! F@c& Christmas!"
The Christmas commercials became fewer and cheaper...the Super Bowl commercials got more expensive.
Then again, maybe me becoming a jaded adult meant that, as I got older, I just noticed Super Bowl commercials more than Christmas commercials. Maybe they never did go away.
AnyDamnway, the other day, I swear I noticed my first Christmas Commercial in years. Of course, it reeks of nerdom and sarcasm...
As my aunt would say, "Merry HoHo!"
