In Poland we have one month with much higher sale of console/computer software/hardware. May - I would say people spent more on gifts during May than during holidays in December. The reason is simply - First Holy Communion (FHC). Time of this event is different in various areas but it's mostly in May. I remember my FHC very well... I became happy and proud Commodore C64 owner...

If you are an 11 year old kid and you want PS3/X360/Wii you will get it. It's sure. This year Sony even made special announcement that they are very happy they was able to provide lower price of PSP before FHC...

Is it realy normal to get "things"for communion/ confirmation in Poland? In germany it's common to give money to the kid (a lot of money). Most of that is saved for the 18th birthday (To make a driver license, cover cost for university, e.g.).
