Christmas should be about celebrating the Birth of Christ!
Merchants have turned Christmas into a money making scheme. I honestly do not know if the American economy would crash if Christmas was not celebrated by giving gifts.

Yes, Christmas is a giant money-maker. That is why Revelation says that when Babylon the Great (the world empire of false religion, who celebrate Christmas) is destroyed by this world's political system, the merchants of the world grieve.

It sure seems like it. I work retail and without Christmas we're doomed. We always have to make sure we go over in sales each year to pay for everything.

Christmas now is all about money and that is wrong
Jesus is the reason we celebrate the season

Everything is about making money, even the churches are about making money and building that biggest church possible.

I'm afraid so. It seems as if black friday is more popular than Good Friday.
