As a cultural Christian, I’d love to see Christmas work as a holiday where people spend time with their families and contemplate the gift of everlasting life. And, also, eat simply and not buy anything.

- ianhawes 5y agoWhile I wholeheartedly agree with you and desire the same thing, I believe just about the entire retail sector depends on Christmas spending to stay afloat.

- ggm 5y agoAs a cultural athiest, I will only be affected by food shortages. But, for many people, Christmas is peak sale time and so the economic consequence of an un-deliberate stall on christmas selling is huge. For the religous, sure, its only got upsides. Maybe longterm it's only upsides. Right now, its an economic shock we might not want.
