True Christmas Spirit has changed and taken different significance throughout the years. Here's a classic look at it:
--
"The Christmas Spirit"
I enter the home of poverty,
causing pale-faced children to open their
eyes wide in pleased wonder.
I cause the miser's clutched hand to relax,
and thus paint a bright spot on his soul.
I cause the aged to renew their youth
and to laugh in the glad old way.
I keep romance alive in the heart of childhood,
and brighten sleep with dreams woven of magic.
I cause eager feet to climb dark stairways
with filled baskets, leaving behind hearts
amazed at the goodness of the world.
I cause the prodigal to pause a moment on his wild,
wasteful way, and send to anxious love some little token
that releases glad tears -
tears which wash away the hard lines of sorrow.
I enter dark prison cells,
reminding scarred manhood of what might have been,
and pointing forward to good days yet to come.
I come softly into the still, white home of pain,
and lips that are too weak to speak
just tremble in silent, eloquent gratitude.
In a thousand ways
I cause the weary world to look up into the face of God
and for a little moment
forget the things that are small and wretched.
I am the Christmas Spirit!

My family contributors and that i activate Christmas music, bake cookies whilst we beautify the tree, study the Christmas tale interior the Bible, then go driving around staring on the Christmas lights fixtures. Busy night, yet astounding for the family contributors.

It seems to be red and green stuff from China, using your charge cards to the limit and songs about chipmunks, mommie cheating on her spouse and the want of your two front teeth.
I guess plastic trees are a big part also.
