Commercialization of the Holidays... where else I could go with this topic?

I have to write an essay on the pros of commercializing the holidays. My only idea so far is that it gives the economy an extra boost for the year and balances out the retail market. I have no idea where else I could go with this topic... Any help?

I think there are many benifet for it and you can talke about . exchanging tridition because there are tourist, communication, and test of coustomers

Why is it interesting to talk about holidays being used to sell products?

If you are a Christian, you probably do not like to see Christmas being commercialized.
If you are struggling in a bad economy, you might be feeling pressure because of the expectation that you will spend money on the holidays.

Actually, if you search an article database you will find a lot of articles about this. You can write a paragraph about the main idea of each article you read, and write an intro paragraph later.
