Reply to comment by Shabingly in Let’s only do Christmas once every three years by jerseycityfrankie

Wow. Some adverts and tinsel, and you can no longer make up your own mind?

There are adverts for summer holidays in the middle of winter - it doesn't destroy my ability to enjoy a cup of cocoa and a snuggle up by the fire.

Maybe stop letting adverts and shop displays dictate your life?

I think you're missing the point. They don't dictate my life, but it is impossible for me to avoid it, and I don't like it. Is that clear enough?

Lol - that's literally the definition of dictating your life. Maybe grow up and stop expecting the world to revolve around your inability to think for yourself?

Or you could just do what I do when something is irritating and incessant, and has no bearing on my life. Ignore it - like I'm now going to do to you :)

I think you need to look up the meaning of the words definition, literal and dictating.
