    Anyone else fed up with the perfect Christmas being depicted as a big family gathering ? Can make you feel like that's the only way to be happy.

    All ads are made up of stereotypes, not just the Christmas ones.

    Agreed but other ads do have a few single people in.

    Main blowers of money at Christmas = Breeders. Those are whom the advertisers are reaching out to. Makes sense really.

    The TK Max ad depicts a demented family gathering with all the screeching going on. Roll on the New Year.
