Um, all my life the Christmas season has started RIGHT after Thanksgiving. You seem to be a slave to TV telling you that everyone else is a slave to marketting.
Also, so what if they are "pushing" it? Yeesh ya grinch, are you the kind of person who sits around complaining about Christmas the whole time about how it was "invented by the industry" and "wasn't even originally a Christian holiday" and such? Who cares about the marketing? Just enjoy it!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
