Holiday Season Expenses

After reviewing specific sets of data regarding Americans holiday spending, the holidays is the most expensive time of year.  Every year Americans dish out millions of dollars combined on Christmas gifts for their family and friends.  Although it may be ridiculous to some, each year Americans spend almost 300 million dollars during the holiday season.  I do not feel as though people spent too much or too little it’s all in their specific financial preference.  I personally believe that Christmas and the holiday season should not be all about delivering and receiving gifts it is about the time that is spent with your family and loved ones. Although for others it is unfortunately about the materialistic items and belongings. I would personally rather just have my family around enjoying everyone’s company.  Some people believe all that Christmas is about is buying their loved ones gifts and spending hundreds of dollars just to prove how much they love and care for each other.  Some people also celebrate the holidays in many different ways.  Some may believe in different religions and celebrate according to their religious beliefs but others may celebrate traditionally with the Christmas tree and Santa Clause. Money is a huge part in a successful holiday season but regardless of the money and how much is spent, it should be about spending time with your friends and family.
