[What if scenario] What if all commercial institutions suddenly decided they no longer intend to acknowledge religious events such as Christmas? - eviltoast

This means no sales, no themed merchandise, no decorations. December 25 and most other day are treated just like any other day for all stores malls, restaurants, ect.

You’d still get non religious holiday events like mothers days, or independence days.

What whould change?

    We can have these without the commercialism can’t we? Homemade decorations and costumes have more value and the act of making them with your family provides the time to talk about what these traditions are about.

      Oddly I don’t do Christmas at home, aside from sharing a couple gifts. So its going about the city or to the mall where I tend to experience the decorations and festive atmosphere. As well as driving around and looking at people’s light shows and lawn decorations.

      Not sure how that would be impacted, but I would miss it if it wasn’t there.
