If you're a young child, it will be the neighbour's kid's new bike.
If you've lost someone dear to you in the past year; you need your family around you to lessen the pain.
If you have no family then it's up to those who 'have' to fill the gap for you.
If you have no home, then where is Christmas for you? Sometimes there is help; sometimes there isn't.
At Christmas, we emphasise home, family, feasting and spiritual fulfilment (peace on earth). Most of the time we ignore it when these are absent. At Christmas, the hope of their existence is in your face, and if you don't have them, then yes; that lack is exaggerated.
I don't think the 'haves' count their blessings more at Christmas. This idea reminds me of the scene in Hogfather where Hogfather's (Santa's) Elf points out that the whole point of the little match girl dying of hypothermia is to make the rest of us count our blessings, and that Hogfather should not be rescuing her. Very Terry Pratchett!

No I don't think so.....
That would be a condition brought on by your upbringing rather than Christmas itself.
Most people are too self indulgent these days to take time out to wonder about others at Christmas and those who have nothing feel the same way the entire year round.....

Christmas is about the birth of Jesus Christ. It has absolutely nothing to do with Santa Claus, Christmas trees, fairy lights and such like.
Quite frankly, if you are not a Christian and do not believe in the birth of Jesus Christ, you should have nothing to do with Christmas!
