Okay why is Kohl's using September for a Christmas commercial?

Since we are now being overwhelmed with Christmas commercials, I find myself completely dumbfound at the use of Earth, Wind and Fire's song September being used as a Christmas commercial.







It is a great song September, but it is obvious people aren't listening to the song before deciding to use it in the commercial.

from September to December...so DUMB! Aren't there a million other songs they could have used for this? Goodness. That said, I've never stepped foot into Kohl's and don't plan to do so.

I went to Costco around September 14 for my flu and super duper Omicron booster and they had a huge display of Christmas crap just off the grocery section.

Can be a lousy Christmas as far as sales and profit. Some stores probably won’t make it. and will close next year. I have to everything they can to make some money.
