And the reason there is no fuss for Easter is because it's not the least bit important secularly (aside from some chocolate manufacturers).The bottom line is that Easter cannot be exploited commercially the way Christmas has been and will continue to be... 1. Easter shopping - doesn't work because exchange of gifts is not an Easter Tradition. Billions of dollars are spent each year on Christmas gifts. What amazes me is how the Christmas shopping season has crept earlier and earlier each year. I saw Christmas decorations for sale in one store this year beginning from the end of AUGUST! When I was a kid they didn't start selling Christmas stuff until November. 2. Easter Cards - I never got one of those... On the other hand Christmas Cards are an industry unto themselves. 3. Christmas decorations - a good artificial tree with all the trimmings can run several hundred dollars or more.. Add to that outdoor decorations, lights in the windows, etc and some households spend thousands. |
