The battle for a slice of the
Christmas dollar is now in earn­
est. No cold war this, the cam*
paign is on, on all fronts. The
tempo of the commercial drum­
beating is now reaching the
crescendo through the many media
of advertising. Everywhere we
see, read and hear the hucksters
extolling the real and imaginary
virtues of their products as gifts
or as necessary items to make a
merry Christmas.
The high pressure is on every­
thing from magazine subscrip­
tions to cheese crackers. It hap­
pens every year, an inevitable
part of the world we know.
Then comes, almost as inevittably, the tirade. From many
well-meaning quarters come the
outcry of the commercialization
of Christmas. They lament that
this day’ of sacred significance
has become a big selling gim­
mick.
Unfortunately, all this is true.
The season has been turned into
a carnival and a merchants’ bo­
nanza.
But there is another side of the
story to be considered. Christmas
has been turned into a big busi­
ness enterprise that now we can
no longer do without it. If it was
decreed that Christmas should no
longer be celebrated as it is and
be instead more of a solemn
occasion, it would disrupt our
economy badly—until or unless
another such day is found.

Without Christmas, many a
business- would be ruined. Em­
ployment too would suffer. The
retail trade is geared to the
end-of-the-year holiday season
that, should it be eliminated, it
would be a calamity. And it would
be the smaller businessmen that
would suffer the most.
There are certain businesses
that must depend entirely or al­
most entirely on the December
trade. Turkey farmers, growers
of Christmas trees, greeting card
manufacturers are some that
come quickly to mind. And it
could be said that all retailers
handling luxury and semi-luxury
lines such as jewellers, toy stores
and appliance dealers rely on the
December business so much that
without it the other 11 months
couldn’t carry them.
Then look at the employment
picture. The seasonal slack of
e m p 1 o y m ent always sets in
around this time and doesn’t pick
up until spring. However, for­
tunately, the Christmas rush
helps relieve some of this winter
slowdown. Department stores,
post offices and shipping firms
all take on extra help to handle
the Christmas volume.
It would probably surprise us
all to find out exactly how many
of us must depend on Christmas
in an economic sense, either as
an employer or an employee. If
those who are indirectly affected
are included, it could pretty well

mean most of us.
Even in the dry-cleaning busi­
ness in which the largest number
of JC’s are engaged than in any
other line of work, Christmas is
an important season. We just
can’t get away from it, even if
Christmas seenis remote to a particular kind of business.
Let’s climb up on our own front
door. For this publication, with
a circulation that is bound by the
limiting factor of race, Christmas
and the bumper issue that is pub­
lished is the only additional
means to earn extra income. Thus
once a year, and only once, does
it have the opportunity to gain
a little more at the expense of a
lot of sweat.
Thus Christmas is an import­
ant economic factor to the NC,
as well as the fact that it offers
a convenient service to everyone
of sending their greetings across
Canada, as well as an opportunity
to writers to have what they want
to say printed in black and white.
Thus, while commercialization
