This Holiday Shopping Season Is Different, But Not Because Of Economic Conditions!
Holiday Spending in the U.S.: Spending on Gifts and Charity
is based on consumer spending and gift giving over two decades – including the 2001-2002 and 1991-1992 recessions.
Why is this holiday time different? It has more to do with lifestyle changes than with economics, such as consumer
attitudes and an aging society. Many Americans view gift-giving holidays differently in light of broader,
more charitable concerns such as International affairs and human rights, the environment and animal welfare.
The result? Americans have stepped up charitable giving, recycling, and are leading more conscientious lifestyles.
In addition, an aging demographic works less and brings home less, meaning less to spend on holidays.
