This is true to some extent but some (Easter, St. Patrick’s Day, Thanksgiving) have less of a consumer culture around them than others (4th of July, Christmas, Halloween).
Fittingly the biggest holiday without any real consumer culture around it is Labor Day. The worst you’ll get is marketing for Labor Day sales but that’s pretty tame by U.S. standards.
Are there any good holidays in the U.S?
It all seems like the same day of consumption with a different outfit on depending on the time of year
