Would you believe that christmas is just a business? every december i observe that different lanterns displayed in side walks,what about different kind of fruits? i observe also they are very expinsive when christmas season. for salad recipies and others? everything are expinsive or they get low prices, how would you think about that? if ever no christmas what will happen the groceries and departments stores?

its only normal for people to take this season as an advantage for them to earn, like me, i sell Christmas cupcakes and scrapbook projects to save up for nooche buena. But some people see Christmas as a business only, especially people who are in the industry of Christmas decoration making. Anyways, Business or not, one shouldn't forget the spirit and the essence of Christmas which is loving and sharing. God Bless you my friend.

Yeah, for some people, they cash in on the yuletide season. But I think there are still those who believes in the essence of Christmas, which incidentally involves gift-giving and eating and decorations to celebrate the holiday in a very festive way. And that's where businessmen take advantage. They're aware of the demand for these things so they jump right in on the opportunity to make money. Without Christmas, it would be a normal day. There are other holidays where they could cash in, however.

I also noticed that. Most businesses boomed during Christmas. Maybe because this is a special season and people will able to spend more money just to have the essence of Christmas. Also, people are spending more because they have Christmas bonuses.
