对于很多商人来说，圣诞节成了一年中生意电繁荣的时节。据估计，全年销售收入的很大一部分，来自在圣诞节前圣诞大采购的一个多月里。实际上，已经争论多年的话题是，圣诞节太商业化了，而其真正意义在逐渐消失。一个日益明显的倾向是每年要买越来越多的贵重礼物。有些人已经私下开始反思这种圣诞节的商业行为了。玩具制造商及其广告业的同伙们，在这个期间大大地赚了一笔。圣诞采购在圣诞节后的一天即节礼日达到高峰，这个时候商店大打折扣，倾销没有卖完的圣诞商品。通常，这是一年中最忙的采购日。
Christmas has spread far and wide across the globe. My wife and I lived in Beijing last year. During the Christmas season, we saw many Christmas decorations and heard a lot of western Christmas music in department stores. It seemed little different from Toronto, Canada. We celebrated Christmas much as we would have in Canada, except that we weren’t with our families in our homes during that very special family-oriented holiday season. We have great memories of Christmases of the past and look forward to many more great Christmas memories in the future.
圣诞节在全球广泛传播开来。去年，我和妻子住在北京时，在圣诞节期间，我们在百货商店里看到了很多圣诞节装饰品，听到了许多西方圣诞音乐。与加拿大多伦多几乎没什么区别。除了不是和我们的家人在一起，我们就像是在加拿大一样，庆祝了圣诞节。在我们家乡，这个季节是一个特别适合全家一起过的节日。我们对过去的圣诞节还有很深刻的印象，也盼望将来有更多值得回忆的圣诞节。
