SHOPAHOLISM IN CHRISTMAS

       Christmas is a beautiful season in the year, when families can share and receive love. But nowadays most people have lost the real meaning of Christmas and have become it in only shopping and spend money. This is the result from the publicity, the wish of have more things and low self-esteem in some people.

The first main cause is the publicity because it persuades the customer to consume more and more, with discounts, sales and others. Also show us that the more we give, more we are going to receive, provocating shopaholism in the entire society.

The second cause is due to the wish of having more, because in our society we are value for things that we have, and that’s why in Christmas with the “aguinaldo” people spends more for themselves, wishing having more than the others. 

Finally the third cause for shopaholism is the low self-esteem in some people. They shop and shop to fill the emptiness in their hearts with material things; however this is the time that more suicides came out.

To conclude we should not spend Christmas time buying unnecessary things, besides that we should be with our families and friends, bringing back our values of sharing and loving.
