This is true to some extent but some (Easter, St. Patrick's Day, Thanksgiving) have less of a consumer culture around them than others (4th of July, Christmas, Halloween).
Fittingly the biggest holiday without any real consumer culture around it is Labor Day. The worst you'll get is marketing for Labor Day sales but that's pretty tame by U.S. standards.
easter definitley has about the same amount of consumer culture as halloween. st patricks day and 4th of july are comparable imo.
