Christmas. Has it become too commercial?
Probably the most beloved time of year for many. In England there are the typical traditions synonymous with the season of good will such as the constant re-runs of first-rate Tv episodes, the Queens speech and the mandatory list of films that are all the time shown Christmas day and Boxing Day.

These traditions have become the mainstay of the British Christmas for many years now and as much as we say they are tedious and annoying, we wouldn't want to have it any other way. It has turned out to be part of the Christmas ritual for many.
With the turn of the 21st century there are any way new traditions that are creeping into society. Now we must suffer the odious spectacle of the hype surrounding which talent show reject will become Christmas amount one in the charts as well as who has been invited to the Beckhams Christmas party.
It seems that somewhere along the way that the holiday message has been lost and supplanted by the celebrity awe struck, materialistic attitudes that are of more concern than the joy surrounding the Christmas period.
Christmas has now become a heavy marketing event where associates can advertise their products as a must have Christmas gift. Probably the main exponents of this are associates in the games console industry. Microsoft and Sony both shop their products (the Xbox360 and the Sony Playstation 3) to coincide with the Christmas duration so that the masses of children will quiz, it from their parents. Many children now are receiving a new games console as soon as it is released regardless of the price.
It seems as opinion the interest surrounding Christmas has now shifted from what the season is meant to rehearse and has now become a marketing and goods focused event where buyer goods are in incredibly high quiz, and associates will try anything to make a profit during the holiday season.
It would be good to see the old traditions return and for Christmas to be noted for the right reasons not as a commercial opportunity. People do still enjoy the traditional ceremonies for switching on Christmas lights on high streets over the country such as the Christmas lights in Oxford Street, London which are erected by Piggotts. Production these occasions more foremost would be a good way to enhance peoples Christmas spirit and for them to realise the point of the holidays.
Has Christmas come to be Too Commercialized?
