A bit late for the current season but this is an excellent site to remind us what Christmas is really all about ! And it can actually be applied to any time of the year when we get caught up in the commercialism of some event or another.
In Canada some of the average numbers are :
Christmas season - $ 23 billion (that is 23,000 million !)
Valentine's Day - $ 2 billion
Mother's Day - $ 1 billion
Father's Day - $ 1 billion
Halloween - $ 1.2 billion (1,200 million dollars on candy, pumpkins and costumes !)

Yowsers! That's $688 per man, woman and child. I wonder if they include all the other shopping too (car repairs, groceries, movie tickets, etc.). That's a lot of money. I want $23,000,000,000.
