Growing up my father always gave us a large "Santa" present as a family rather than buying everyone their own little present; this would work out to be a new computer, tv, or videogame system and would often cost a similar ammount to a HDTV today. I don't think many people get gifts like this but I do know that families often make one (or several) large purchases at christmas.
A more disturbing trend I heard of was that the average American spends $4,000 at Christmas so maybe there are a lot of HDTVs given to individuals.
