Why do we spend so much money on our holidays? Is it ego, guilt or social pressure.?

We spend hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars for decorations, costumes, lavish foods and frivolous gifts. Think about all the money we spend on our holidays. Starting with New Years, Valentines and St Patrick Day. Why do we buy chocolate Easter bunnies, color Easter eggs and Easter baskets full of candy and toys. What does this has to do with the ressurection of Jesus? Mothers Day, Fathers Day, 4th of July and Labor Day is spent buying enormous amount of food to BBQ or going out to restaurants to gorge ourselves with food. By the time we get to October, we go into a frenzy and rent or buy elaborate costumes, decorate our homes with scary decoration and give out unhealthy candy to little children. We gorge ourselves again on Thanksgiving and when Christmas arrive, we really go crazy and go into debt for the rest of next year to pay for all the decorations, Christmas tree, food and unwanted gifts we gave out on Christmas.

really some r religous holidays and i think spending money and geting together with family just shows how much we love each other.some pppl would rather spend money just to have something to do other then think about alll the crazy things going on in this world
