I hope you know that christmas is not a real holiday! Wats the point in it, if it's a holiday for retailers to rip you off with your money??? The way I see it, it should never be a holiday! But I want your opinion on it. And tell me wat you think of X-mas and the re-tailers ripping you off for your money.

First of all, retailers don't rip you off unless you let them.
Second, Christmas Is a holiday..and even if the calendar dates are off....by a few months, etc....it does have historical significance.....regardless of the arguments, blah blah blah.
However, getting to the point? Why do people celebrate? I think, personally so that some minor, minor, small, itsy bitsy form of HOPE can still linger in the hearts of our cynical, more crueler world each day...to say...hey....perhaps we can take one moment and reflect: What are we all about?
Who knows...some small spiritualizing can't be all bad.

Its a nice holiday to spend with family. very fun especially wen kids invvolved.
retailers? that's ok with me. It up to you to balance friendly gift giving with oppsessive gift giving.

because it is the day recognized by all Christian religions as the birthday of Jesus Christ, God made Man.
