Why do we typically sing songs during Christmas instead of other holidays like Easter or Thanksgiving?

The Christmas songs are a sales promotions to get shoppers into the stores and “into the gift giving Spirit". Easter has no sale promotions using songs. Neither does Thanksgiving have such song usage as well.

BTW The familiar Christmas Song “Jingle Bells” was written for Thanksgiving.

Notice though that businesses usually use instrumental Christmas arrangements instead of vocal. I suspect instrumental arrangements keeps the music secular for shoppers

What do you think of the 2 female 18 and 19 year-old German tourists, detained in Honolulu, strip-searched, put in green jumpsuits, placed in a holding cell and the next day deported, for the terrible crime of not pre-booking a hotel for their trip?
