Casino seasonal promotions: worth waiting for or just hype

Noticing all the Halloween and Christmas promos popping up at my usual online casino haunts. Always get tempted by the shiny wheel spins or double deposit offers, but sometimes I wonder if waiting for these promos is just a distraction from playing my usual game. The thing is, I've found the "extra" they advertise sometimes isn't much different than the weekly reloads or ongoing bonuses.

Anyone else actually plan their sessions around these seasons, or is it just better to play steady and not get lured in by festive fireworks?
