Rejected petition Make it illegal for shops to advertise Christmas until 25 November.

I love Christmas; most people do. However, I hate the way it is commercialised in early November each year so is dragged out for eight weeks, resulting in the big day ending in an anti-climax.

Let's change this by giving shops one month to do all they need.
