What the petition asks
The 12 Days of Christmas has become the 60 days of Christmas. Christmas adverts now appear on TV, radio and in print, beginning in late-October. Why? No other festival requires such intensive marketing. The hype is eroding the 'magic' of Christmas, for religious and secular observers alike.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The Government is not directly responsible for advertising. All forms of advertising in the UK are regulated by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) , who impose the British Advertising Codes.
