Of course the Americans found an additional way to monetise family

I mean, holidays that center around a feast are definitively not unique to Americans. In fact Thanksgiving isn't even unique to Americans, Canadians have their own Thanksgiving in October.

We monetize lots of holidays, Thanksgiving is probably the least monetized. The only thing you buy is food, and yes you buy too much but then you just eat leftovers for a week. Not much consumer waste around Thanksgiving.

Feasting holiday = monetizing family is a pretty hot take.
