Rejected petition Ban Christmas related advertising until the 25th of November

Every year the same barrage of advertising hits our TV's, Radio's and high streets a full 3 months before 'the big day'. So far I have seen an Ocado ad to buy your Xmas Turkey and Sainsburys selling Xmas Puds, all before the 20th of Sept! Implement a law against this and bring the fun back into Xmas
