Holiday of consumerism

Atrios says:

The basic reason I tend to say happy holidays for most of the month of December is that it feels pretty stupid saying "Merry Christmas" when it's a month away from the actual date. Come Christmas I'll be wishing everyone a "Merry Christmas," but on December 1?

This is a good point. Christmas is December 25th. Between the Friday after Thanksgiving and December 24th, the country celebrates a huge secular holiday of consumerism that has nothing to do with Christianity.
