Examples of such events are Christmas, Easter, Halloween, St. Valentine, birthdays and weddings. The following products are also considered to be festive articles:
Articles with utilitarian functions are excluded, even if they have the design or ornamentation appropriate to a specific festivity. This heading does not include:
