    :tree: Commercialized Christmas

    My humble opinion:Why is it so bad, as long as you know the true meaning of Christmas, to enjoy Santa Claus and the presents, the decorations, the music, the Christmas tree the parties and all that, that make Christmas as we know it today?
    I never forget what Christmas is all about. The rest is just a bonus!!!

    Merry Snowy Christmas

    I totally agree with you...There is so much that makes Christmas special, but if you remember in your heart and actions the true meaning of Christmas, why can't the rest just be icing on the cake?!

    It's the difference between the real flavour of food and an ersatz additive imitation of the same food, the difference between GM and organic.

    So in your case what's the GM and what's the organic?

    For me, the true meaning of christmas is family and love and happiness and the spirit of giving. I am not a religious person and as a result my christmas has nothing to do with the birth of Jesus Christ.

    For me my Christmas is mainly the commercial aspect but it's important to remember the spirit of christmas, to remember why you're supposed to love it. If you remember that then everything else just helps make it great
