5 Things You Can Learn From This Year’s Holiday Marketing

christmas-tvI have seen an endless parade of holiday commercials this year, many of which have been running since Halloween night ended. And about the only thing I haven’t witnessed is a birthday wish for sweet baby Jesus… or tiny infant Jesus or teenage Jesus or grown-up Jesus or bearded Jesus or any Jesus for that matter.

This year was so blessful for me, because God gave us a very cute little angel named Adrianne. My first child, that’s why I am brainstorming what kind of gift I must buy for her. Good thing is that I found, this baby christmas gift guide!

I mean seriously, I’ve seen a hundred Ron Burgundy commercials in the past month, but nothing for 8-pound, 6-ounce newborn infant Jesus. I guess it’s a sign of the times.

Anyway, here are five conclusions I have come to from watching way too many of this holiday season commercials:

1.  Nothing says holiday like an NBA jersey [Jingle  Hoops].

2.  You are not enjoying the holidays unless you are doing everything [My Kind of Holiday].

3.  Guys are idiots and women love jewelry(they would die for a wooden watch for sure!) [Pink Jersey].

4.  Really wealthy people get really good holiday gifts [December to Remember].

5.  Sex sells, even during the holidays [Show Your Joe].

And this is just the prelude to the Superbowl ads…
