The commercialization of festivals has eroded their real significance -views?
Many festivals are a reflection of our relationship with the land , fertility, or with spiritual beliefs of various descriptions. For instance in the European Christian world Christmas was once primarily a religious festival when special resources were drawn upon to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.

Many of them do not even bother about doing a religious ceremony, or thinking about any deity related with the festival even once. What excites them the most is showing off their wealth by exchanging gifts. Even middle-class people are caught up in this trap. Earlier, people would take out time to wish friends and relatives, but now people tend to feel that they have done their duty by just sending an SMS. In fact their day should begin with pure joy and end with pure satisfaction, of doing a good deed, that is spreading love. Earlier, festivals like diwali and holi were family occasions. Diwali was celebrated by lighting small diyas and candles, having a small puja and burning a few crackers to rejoice the homecoming of Rama along with Sita and Laxman from his exile in Ayodhya on this day. Houses were white-washed and new clothes were bought. But now with commercialization it's a pure show of money, people buy designer lights,...
Why are many religious festivals based around a story?
Most religious festivals, particularly those ascribed to Judaism, are festivals either directed by God to observe, or was the choice of the Israeli's to observe, TO COMMEMORATE specific historical events as both to edify their Faith, encourage one another, and honor their God.
