In the hayday of commercial age, many people are under a lot of pressure to buy more and more presents for their loved ones for Christmas. Businesses realise the potential in this season, so they use this time of the year to get as much money from people's pockets as possible. Christmas is not Christmas anymore. It used to be about love and family, but commercials say that hugs, kind words and spending quality time with them is not enough in today's world. The only way to express your care towards to your loved ones is by giving them something they can enjoy the best that consumer capitalism has to offer. To do this, many people rush into credit in order to be able to finance their expenditures during Christmas. After all, they start the new year with a break-down,because they couldn't help wasting money. Everywhere is suggested, that you shouldn't even try to do something with your own hands, for example something cheap but meaningful. Consumerism is a real problem and you have to notice its kickbacks. So don't fall into this brainwashing trap, which suggests that the only way to make your family and friends's to love you is to buy them something new, big and expensive.
