Everyone keeps asking this question....
I will answer the same way I answered those...
People have twelve months to buy gifts... but we fools wait till the last two months and say Christmas went too fast and we lost the meaning.
So do your shopping all year long... Start in January.. Do it all before November First.. Then the day after Thanksgiving set the mood, put your tree up and wrap your gifts. Then from that point until Christmas.. Enjoy and particpate in the meaning of Christmas.. Spend your Holiday time... Focusing on Jesus!
And sharing this with your family.

Christmas is extremely commercial, and yes the true meaning of Christmas has been lost to many people, but not all. Let me say that I believe the true Meaning of Christmas can be practiced all year long, not just in December.......................

I believe that Christmas is a commercial farce, the stores start decorating in October, its not about family and fellowship and celibrating the birthday of Christ. Its so hard to have you children stay consistantly on track about the true meaning of Christmas because when they go to school all they hear about is what someone wwants for Christmas or is getting....sad but so true!

No, I don't think so.
Most people make it a point to spend Christmas with their families because they love them, and that is the meaning of Christmas.
LOVE.
Also, Americans are especially charitable at this time of year, and people do give to the less fortunate more at this time than any other.
That is another true meaning of Christmas - GIVING.
Plus, people are friendlier at this time of year and they smile more.
Merry Christmas and remember, Christmas is what you make of it!

I think so...usually I go out and spend a lot of money on people buying them things that they probably won't use just to say I bought them a gift. I hated shopping and Christmas in general. This year I bought everyone small gifts that I know they will like and am looking forward to just spending time with my friends and family. Happy Birthday Jesus!!

The tru meaning of christmas is lost because it has become commercial. For that matter anything which becomes commercial it loses its tru meaning or whatever u may call it.

i absolutely think they have lost the meaning of Christmas. Its not all about the presents or the money. its about having your family around you and celebrating the birth of Christ. Its to feel the warmth of love and being surrounded by the ones who care. people nowadays are sooooo wrapped up in having the best of the best and how much it cost, etc... this world is heading downhill i feel.

Yes, it is really sad. Christmas is focused on spending money, materialism, Santa, and stress. We can't even say Christmas anymore; it has to be Happy Holidays instead. People no longer focus on Jesus our Saviour, which is the meaning of our celebration. No prayers of thanks for Jesus, no Bibles being openend, Nope, just another holiday to get drunk and get yourself in debt. This is what most people have resorted to. How is the honoring our God?
