That's like saying Halloween is the "in your face" time for non-christians to christians. LOL
Its not Christians that make it an "in your face" time, but RETAILERS! Seriously people, if retailers could make money off of Ramadan or The Day of The Dead, please believe that they would. Why? Because its not just Christians or religious people spending money during the holidays - its EVERYBODY (religious and non-religious alike).
On another note...
I totally agree with you. Aside from nuns and monks, I don't think anyone (myself included) spends the entire day in
visible prayer/devotion. However, I do know that in every way, shape or form, everything that we do should worship Christ -whether it be in the manner in which to treat/talk to others, in servitude to others, our faithfulness on the jobs (i.e. i should be working instead of on GC ), or even by spending time studying His word. This type of worship is no less valuable.
