hehe - this is a funny topic.

I can understand the OP's point and he/she is right. America being so large and having so many players- yep, the holidays favor them.
(I tried to debate this same topic with my mom once - 'cept in my argument Christianity=America while other religions = other countries
...not trying to evolve this just saying that I have shared similar train of thoughts with the OP)

Anyhoo - I'm American - I like that the holiday goodies relate to my fun times.

And as I have said 2 times before ... Yeah, those "Special Offers" - didn't they pop up around the holiday season?
...And they NEVER went away ... so we can just consider those "special" offers that don't ever go away to encompass all holidays that the Tynon peeps may overlook.
Yay - Time for camp fires, smores, and Kumbaya now!
