It hasn't been lost yet... Completely...
Yeah, lots of people seem to get it mixed up lately. The obvious that we see is the commercialism of Christmas. I don't think it ends there. The Muslim Id has also often been (very much here) commercialized, but they're pretty on track with the meaning.
The not so obvious mix up is how people say Christmas is about "giving more than receiving". I mean giving is nice and all, and it's certainly a virtue encouraged by Christmas (and all the other days of the year), but it's not really THE meaning of xmas. Many people (especially in the modern areas) have seem to forgotten the actual RELIGIOUS meaning of Christmas. which is the birth of Christ.
I feel like such a hypocrite.

yes i think we have lost the meaning of Christmas.People at the stores don't even say merry Christmas anymore its "happy holidays".People only think of presents during Christmas time not about the true meaning of Christmas,which is Jesus's birth.Merry Christmas y'all!!!!

Yes I think many people have lost the true meaning of Christmas...it's not about getting gifts or receiving them. Yes that's nice but the real Christmas meaning is celebrating the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. People have turned it around and made it about Santa. He's not real people. But Jesus Christ is.

I were given like 3 diverse video games to open (i understand 2 of them are Skyrim and MW3). presented a death and an Amon Amarth t-blouse for myself for Christmas lol. anyhow i will't wait to open some thing day after as we talk. BQ: i do not in all probability options them, yet i does not pay interest to them that plenty to be uncomplicated.

To a lot of people, yes, there's too much commercialism. I can almost guarantee that there are a lot of people who have no idea what Christmas is really about. . . . sad but true.
Either way, Thank you & marry Christmas to u too!!!
