How much does America depend on Christmas shopping?
If we skipped Christmas, would our country survive?
(Admin did not allow this question the first time?!?!?)
(or the second time?!?!?!?!?!!!?!?!)

I have a son who works for a major department store. He has told me, that if it weren't for Christmas, his store would never show a profit for the year.
Would this country survive? Of course, I just don't know if we would like it here or not.

Nope. It depends on easy credit. Which the Federal Reserve Bank has graciously granted to all the banks to allow them to provide you an easily accessible credit card with exorbidant fees and interest rates. Of which you sign up and say hey I have money, now I can go out and spend on something I want or on a Christmas present(s).
Then the bill comes later and you say how am I ever going to pay that thing? Of which you go get a second job and attempt work off the debt you couldn't afford in the first place.
Work, save, and save some more. Debt is slavery. Get Debt Free.

I heard that the average American spends $800 on Christmas. I honestly thought it would be higher but I guess that would mean a husband and wife spend $1600. (Person, not household)
I think the American economy would change drastically if the Christmas shopping stopped. I am positive our country would survive but large retailers would be hurt.
I don't understand why this question would be removed. It's a good question about a religious holiday if you ask me.

i imagine that each and every one which stuff is ridiculous! I heard on the radio too that some area (i imagine a diverse usa) is requiring their shop Santa's now to be skinny because a fats Santa is a nasty impression to little ones. what number of human beings actual believe that they are being pronounced as a ho if Santa says that or that their baby will act/devour like Santa?????? those human beings favor to get a lifestyles, slowly the excitement of Christmas will fade if society keeps putting up guidelines as to what's nice and incorrect.

we depend on christmas as much as old people depend on Depends. It's essential for our economy to buy buy buy at the celebration of the birth of the lord jesus. this is america, dude, where god and the almighty dollar go hand-in-hand.

I usually try to spend between $0 and $200. I'm not giving the man back his money.

weird? yahoo is stupid. they keep deleting my valid questions too..
however, i would say that a big part of economy relies on christmas. i think we would still survive without it. but maybe we wouldnt thrive? or get some people so much more money...
