Adamtanderson Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 I thought this was intresting. http://www.snopes.com/holidays/halloween/spending.asp Winter holidays (Christmas): $457.4 billion Mother's Day: $13.80 billion Valentine's Day: $13.70 billion Easter: $12.63 billion Father's Day: $9.01 billion Christmas is more than 30 tumes more than number 2 Mothers day
peachysquirt21 Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 That is just crazy. Alot of people dont kow the true meaning of Christmas anymore.
g-man430 Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 How is halloween not number 2? That's got to be wrong. There is no way father's day possibly beats out halloween in terms of sales.
Cecilliadb Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 I agree with g-man. And I saw on the news that spending was way way up for halloween this year. But thats still interesting, thanks.

There is no way father's day possibly beats out halloween in terms of sales.Because the other hollidays are hollidays that you buy gifts for people. A few bags of candy and a costume arn't going to beat the gifts.
lindabacker Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Because the other hollidays are hollidays that you buy gifts for people. A few bags of candy and a costume arn't going to beat the gifts.Great point - to add to this a lot of perople have not only one father to buy for on Father's day ( same applies to Mother's day as well) when u count in father, father in law, stepfather, some people also buy for grandfathers and then times that by two for both people if it is a married couple and you can wind up spending a bundle on a holiday like Father's day or mother's day.
elena_398 Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 I believe it. Everyone feels compelled to spend,spend, spend during christmas time. Hmmmm I better not comment anymore as Im guilty too. lol
amyers12345 Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 Remember, at christmas time, most probably buy for 30x as many people as they do for mother's day. A smaller gift for a mom or two, but when you figure you spend much more on the kids, plus all family, plus the mailman and teachers, it actually kind of evens back out.
Adamtanderson Posted November 4, 2006 Author Posted November 4, 2006 I believe it. Everyone feels compelled to spend,spend, spend during christmas time. Hmmmm I better not comment anymore as Im guilty too. lolYeah you spend spend spend and your child wants to play with the box.
