Regulation[edit]
Most business have shopping hours, but others are open around the clock. Some nations regulate the operation of businesses for religious reasons and do not allow shopping on particular days or dates. These are known as blue laws.
Shopping seasons[edit]
Shopping frenzies are periods of time where a burst of spending occurs, typically near holidays in the United States, with Christmas shopping being the biggest shopping spending season, starting as early as October and continuing until after Christmas.
Some religions regard such spending seasons as being against their faith and dismiss the practice. Many contest the over-commercialization and the response by stores that downplay the shopping season often cited in the War on Christmas.
The National Retail Federation (NRF) also highlights the importance of back-to-school shopping for retailers which comes second behind holiday shopping, when buyers often buy clothing and school supplies for their children.[10] In 2006, Americans spend over $17 billion on their children, according to a NRF survey.[citation needed]
