However, shopping can lead to exhaustion, for you have to first find your needed items through crowds of people and then wait in long lines just to buy your items. Buying more and more items may add up to becoming expensive as well. Not to mention that after you shop, you would have to set up or store away everything that you bought before your guests comes over to celebrate. In conclusion, the discussion in the article, “Shopping Trumps Turkey”, by Gregory Karp, represents different opinions between whether or not retailers should continue releasing Black Friday sales on Thanksgiving day.
I find the waiting a week later to celebrate Christmas to save on after-Christmas deals takes away from Christmas's religious element, but I do find that in their situation, it's
Christmas time is my favorite time of the year, and I know many people who agree with that. Excluding certain, or all, religions in my opinion hurts the students more than helping by making them become less creative. I disagree smaller religious holidays are excluded, but I think they could be more of a part of school.

America basks in the endless opportunity and glory of a capitalist economy. Competition fuels innovation and inspires Americans to be the best they can be. While high levels of motivation have opened the gates for tremendous economic growth, it has also put American culture at risk due to corporations subjecting traditions such as Christmas to the market on an unprecedented scale. In recent years, the market for Christmas has exploded with sales, commercials, movies, decorations, and more overtaking everyone’s minds from late October into the new year. While this could be a positive factor in an effort to unite American cultures, it has ultimately created disparity between secular and religious celebrators.
The holiday of scaring people is so fun. Telling spoke stories and trying to make someone scared is so fun and, it’s been around for so long time why would someone do that to the people of the U.S. and just take what someone in the past have created.

Halloween costumes are magnificent with being overly expensive. Another reason is that you get to devour Halloween food. Whenever I think of Halloween, I think of food and candy. Even without the candy, Halloween still has stupendous food.
When ghost and goblins, witches and broomstick, candy and costumes are everywhere, it is a sure sing that a favorite holiday is at hand.

Decorating homes and business, picking out costumes, and trick-or-treating are three favorite Halloween traditions.
If you think about it, Christmas definitely does not mean the same thing to each and every person. Christmas is celebrated on December 25, of every year. What is Christmas all about to you?
