Not to be a Grinch but I am ready for the holiday season to be over.
Well, let me clarify a bit. I am ready for the holiday advertising season to be over. Don’t take that the wrong; there a plenty of wonderful, sentimental ads that come out around this time of year. But they start running immediately after Halloween and by the time Christmas comes along its pure overkill. After a while they lose all their meaning and purpose!
It is especially bad for me when holiday ads are recycled from year to year. I’ll use the Lexus commercials to prove my point. Each season they push their December to Remember with basically identical ads. It’s the same premise every ad, every year: elaborate plot to reveal the car adorn with a large, red bow on top. And to make worse I still don’t understand the purpose of the ad or the sale, for that matter. I don’t know why someone, who would buy a Lexus for a present in the first place, would need a commercial to convince them or why a sale would make a difference in the purchase! If you can afford to give a present like that I assume you’re not too concerned about sales!
But then again, maybe I am a Grinch. Or maybe I just need Santa to find some complicated way to give me a new Lexus with giant, albeit equally pricey, bow on top! Yes, I think that would definitely make my heart grow three sizes! Well even if I don’t find a new car this Sunday, I can at least find solace in knowing the holiday advertising season will soon be over! Hope you have a happy and safe holilday!
