I share your peeve in this regard and applaud your eloquent call to arms. Unfortunately, so long as the retail sector continues to depend on Christmas-season sales for up to half of their annual receipts, this trend will likely continue despite our efforts...and accelerate. "In the end, there can be only one..." Christmas uber alles!

not if we can get everyone who hates this to refuse to buy any of it before the proper time of year! If the stores see that their revenue goes down the earlier they bring the stuff out, they'll shift back in the other direction until they find a middle point.

Sadly, I think "everyone who hates this" is a subset of "everyone who uses their brain to think about things", so it's probably too small a group to be noticed.
