World Wide Holidays...? -

In America, tomorrow we will be celebrating Thanksgiving Day, which has no more respect, due the people's focus on Black Friday. (The time when shops are getting rid of their old stuff and bringing in the new, which is cause for major sales...)
A few years ago, the American government decided to move Thanksgiving Day up one week from the last Thursday of November to the second to the last week of the November.
The reason?
To give shoppers more time to buy Christmas gifts and such...That was taken with much hostility, and it's now back to the last Thursday of November.
Do any other countries have this same little respect for their holidays? I mean, I know America's bad, but are there any other stories like this one?
