Be realistic... What good would it do the stores to have New Years things out from the 1st to the 7th when no one would purchase anything after January 1st. They don't put this stuff out to make you happy. They put it out to sell it and it's on clearance by the day after New Years. Would you really expect them to sell everything they have in only six days?
As far as Christmas... From 11/12 to 12/25 is 6 weeks. Naaaa... No way stores could sell what they bring in during only a six week period.
Remember... You may say you hate it but if they weren't selling these things they wouldn't have them out now!
Retail is a business. It's NOT there for our viewing pleasure.

Nope. While it is annoying that Christmas now comes out with Halloween stuff. I like my Halloween to start in July.

dude, get your calendar right, the last i checked, thanksgiving came after halloween, not before.
and good luck you're fighting a downhill battle, there's too many holidays, somebody's offended no matter what you decorate for. they can't even say merry christmas anymore, it's now happy holidays.

Though over advertising and commercialization of Hoildays is annoying, your chart is even more annoying.
No, I'm not with you.

You can demand all you want to but it's not going to happen.
