In other words, the whole point of the original holiday was to spend money and give money and gifts to those who needed it.

The Major Holidays are only three times a year out of 365 days( 366 during leap year). Surely employers, and companies can afford to allow employees to spend time with their families. Then again the cash register is whom we bow to.
