Christmas season always comes with the strong craving desires of shopping and unnecessary money spending.

In fact! Christmas shopping is an old ancient tradition which began before the name Christmas was invented.

Since the ancient days, the season of winter solstice (saturnalia, Christmas season) has been used as a time of commercial, advertisement, introduction of new products, granting of credit cards, Consumer debt, predatory lending, giving out of loans with high interest rate etc.

In this season; the cinema and tv entertainment focuses on the promoting of movies which contains magic, fairy tales, fairy mothers, witchcraft, sex magic, horror etc.

Now my question is; why is this season targeted and used as time of putting people into debt via the unstrained act of shopping?

Winter solstice is a season of shifting from the old, being the renewal or the rebirth of nature. 

This seasons marks the time when the old dies or expires, and the new begins to take form.

In the business of product selling: New products are introduced in market. 

That is the reason why all the old products sold in shops are put on sale, and as Christmas approaches, the old products are replaced by new ones which will be sold during Christmas and the next coming season or year.

The renewal and rebirth of nature which occurs in this season, take place in all the spheres of life, even including the sphere or realm of nature which governs the laws of human life.

The slave master and dictators of the ancient emperors and kingdoms knew about this law of nature. 

That is the reason why they forged the festival of saturnalia, making it to fall exactly at this time of winter solstice (being the season of Christmas).
