yup and its more than just buying presents
a lot of hotels make bank in December because companies love to host their holiday parties at hotels
my hotel this past weekend hosted four different holiday parties. I'm guessing this weekend will be no different
fwiw, i'm not arguing that Christmas is the most important holiday, mostly b/c i'm not interested in having that conversation. just agreeing that Christmas' (and yes, i think holiday parties essentially mean Christmas parties) economic impact is undeniable
