I agree most holidays are too commercialised now - some shops in the UK already have mince pies and supermarkets usually have Easter eggs on the shelves soon after new year. I honestly don’t have a clue who’s buying them that early. It’s utter madness.

Yep I agree. I am not a fan of shopping so I'm glad I can go online too. I also just get gift cards since that is the easiest. Basically just giving someone money to get what they want on their own. And I hate it when people feel so obligated and take it out on others as well. They put it on themselves so it is their responsibility. And yeah, I don't understand why shops start advertising so early too. I know they want people to buy but they do it too soon. Like I'll see Christmas stuff on the shelves as early as September. It is ridiculous.
