Have the retailers/media ruined every holiday?

Now stores are planning to open on Thanksgiving evening and forcing employees to give up family time. They are destroying "family time" for their employees.

Have the retailers and media ruined every holiday, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentines etc) by bombarding us with "buy, buy, buy" and "gift, gift, gift" messages relentlessly. All other meanings associated with the holidays are being destroyed, pushed aside. Retailers won't dare wish you a "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Thanksgiving", and they hide their decorations in the back of their stores (if at all). Meanwhile they pound you non-stop with their "spend, spend, spend" messages.

Meanwhile on TV they show you "perfect holidays" with extravagant gifts and decorations, that the average family can't afford to have. On TV, every house on every street is lavishly decorated and lit up whether for Halloween, Christmas, or Thanksgiving, or 4th of July. And the gifts exchanged on television sitcoms, are way beyond the means of ordinary middle-class families.
