Because Christmas has become so commercialized that the Christmas Shopping Season has usurped Advent, and the true Christmas Season or Christmastide (the period between The Nativity to The Epiphany, a.k.a.

The majority (76%) of Americans identify themselves as Christians and Christmas is the second-most significant holiday in the Christian calendar. For the first hundred years after the United States gained its independence, Christmas was mostly a time of religious observance and not a public celebration. Christmas did not become a national public holiday until 1875. It was not until the early 20th century that the commercial potential of the Christmas season was realized and exploited. Christmas became a significant focus of mass entertainment, advertising and merchandising following World War II and is now an essential feature of the retail sector of the US economy.

What were the main differences in Christmas in the 1800's and now?
In my opinion, the primary difference between the Christmas of yore and that of today is in the area of commercialism. Christmas observers, both secular and Christian, have succumbed to the calls of commercialism, especially in past decades. Christmas has become more about presents and less about the celebration of the birth of Jesus (the purpose for Christmas). Christmas has become a burdensome rush, rush, rush to get to the right store for the right item before competing customers get there first. In my opinion, this rush to meet the demands of commercialism have spoiled the true meaning of Christmas and I believe that Christmas observers from the 1800s weren't held to that bondage.
