As everyone knows, holidays will influence our consumer culture for many years, but many people are starting to do so, and the research has hardly been completed. Some people say that this theme is too broad for holidays, especially how Christmas directly affects our market, but people's values, expectations, and rituals on holidays are excessive consumption by society There is a possibility that it leads to. Most people do not realize that holidays have become valuable time for the industry for centuries and gift ideas averaged one and a half months before actual holidays to meet consumer demand We are starting to advertise.

But how did people celebrate Christmas before shopping malls and lighting emerged? What is the history behind the tradition? The heart of Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Jesus. The relationship between the festival and Christ is clear through its ancient English roots "Cristes maesse" or the Mass of Christ. For Christians it is time to update their beliefs, generously give the past and consider. But Christmas is also a secular family celebration - many non-practical Christians and other religious people are happy to accept themselves. The secular nature of Christmas was officially recognized in 1870 when the Congress made it a federal holiday. Federal and state employees and most private enterprises are not working on December 25

Christmas is a popular holiday in the United States and Christmas is officially recognized as a federal holiday by the US government. Christmas and the holiday season will start around the end of November, and Black Friday is two days after the American holiday Thanksgiving Day. However, Christmas decorations and in-store music may spread between Halloween and Thanksgiving. Many schools and companies are closed during Christmas and New Year holidays. I often spent with my family and close friends, returning unnecessary gifts at the store, and selling stores after Christmas. Most decorations are canceled by New Year or Epiphany. Other anniversaries such as Hanukkah, Yule, Epiphany, Kwanza, Winter Solstice etc are considered part of the season (including greetings other than public holidays such as "Happy Holidays").
