Yes!!!!!!!!!!!! When I was a kid Christmas was a very special time. Family got together, had a huge diner( more like eating all day long...lol) we broke out the board games, we spent time together as a family. There was very little gift giving if any at all. Gift giving was more symbolic then anything else. We would go caroling on Christmas eve.
Now a days people are more concerned with who can out buy the other. Stores are pushing Christmas way before Thanksgiving. People get nasty if they can't get that parking space in front of the mall door. It has become sooooooo commercialized, that people think that the meaning of Christmas is about spending money, rather than spending TIME with family and friends without a price tag.

yesss! its not about santa or the "holiday" spirit its about the birth of the messaia, jesus christ, which people whos parents are christian and whos whole country started on christian ideals and freedom, reject because they dont care and dont want to offend our jewish brothers. just say "happy Channukah" to the jewish people and they will be more than happy. people are treating christmas as too much of a way to get money and having to buy gifts and that the whole meaning is "giving", its not. the birth of Jesus was a wonderful event that brought happiness and good life lessons and morals. even if your not christian, nobody can deny that jesus was a wonderful person who did and said wonderful things. because realy, a tree is not the meaning of christmas.

I think it was too commercialized 15 years ago.
