Yes I think we have.  Instead of celebrating the birth of our Lord, Christmas has become so commercialized & materialistic.  It is all about who can spend the most or get the best gift.  And we put ourselves into so much debt for things we can not afford, just to impress others or for whatever the reasons.  Christimas items have been put into stores in early August.  The bottom line...money.

Yes I have 4 Christmas trees and all my decorations up. Before you think I'm crazy, I have a 2 yr old daughter who saw one in a shop and thought it was amazing. So I put ours up to make her smile and she hasn't stopped smiling yet! Well Christmas is a magical time!!!

Christmas just seemed so magical when you were a kid.......\nThere seemed to be more decorations in the house - not just a tree and a garland on the fire. Your pile of prezzies was just massive! Everybody was happy and jovial during the get together at your nans house - cousins, aunts, uncles the whole family used to be there. You always thought you look a million dollars in your new clothes, after dinner all the adults would have a few drinks then the music would be higher up and they'd all be dancing and singing!!!! - what a great day it would be!!!!\n\nThese days Christmas is not the same - our family has broken up a bit -mum and dad divorced -  aunts and uncles have divorced, cousins have grown up and have their own families - worst of all my nan has passed away.\n\nThe good thing now is I have a child of my own, we do the whole Christmas thing - go to my mums for dinner have drinks, dance sing, play games - now I make Christmas great for my kid as my parents did for me.......\n\nTimes change.......but the memories all remain......I still love Christmas and I am also counting down the days!!

Yes, I am looking forward to it. I love that feeling of euphoria that comes around the time of the Holiday season. It's being with family, and loved ones. It's sipping champagne, and drinking hot cocoa, and tea. It's also playing with your nephews/nieces, and giving presents that you know that individual person has asked for, and its seeing their surprise/pleasure when they open it up, and you can actually see the light in their eyes when they do. For me, its not all about the receiving, its about the giving too. In fact, I would much rather give than receive because their is so much more pleasure in it. That is what the holiday season is all about.

Christmas-not just because of the presents but because of the food and getting to spend time with family...Just about 8 months to go!!!!!

Personally, there is no greater relief than when Christmas is OVER!\n\nAfter Christmas means my dysfunctional family will once again go their seperate ways.  \nI can watch TV without having to listen to my kids tell me how much they hope Santa brings them every single toy they see when the commercials come on.  \nGoing to the mall is a more pleasant experience since there is no longer the fear of standing in a 6 hour line for Santa.\nI won't have to be self-conscious about the dirty looks I'm getting as I'm dragging them (literally), screaming at the top of their lungs, past the line for Santa. \nI can repack and put away all the Christmas stuff.\nAnd finally...\nI might just get a chance to sit back and put my feet up while my kids play with their new toys.  (until they get bored with them, which should only take about 3 hours.)\n\n-- me

Yes i am! As soon as I see the first holiday ad in the newspapers, i know christmas is here! So its become a crass, commercialised holiday that everyone exploits, but you gotta love it. It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Not yet. But I have a question for you...\n\nIt's my birthday on christmas, do I have to \nbuy gifts? Or is it the thought that counts?\nBecause people nowadays feel\nunappreciated when they recieve nothing \non holidays and I don't grow money trees.\n\nps.\nI'm only 14.

Yes, but not the Christian way. It's nice to have the family around, gifts, Christmas tree etc.

I'm in college now, and Christmas is always about two weeks after finals. I love being back in my home state, back in the mountains, the snow, finally sleeping after 3 massive weeks of stress (last 2 wks of class and finals week), being with my family and seeing people from home that I'm away from about 9 months of the year. I love decorating the house and bickering with my mother over how I'm not trying to break anything, I'm just clumsy. I love it when I surprise people with my gifts, and I love it when I'm surprised or touched by a special gift. I love watching too many movies and staying up too late..... and so much more.

Christmas time is a warm time for me. Even though it is Winter time and snow everywhere, I feel warm and cheery all over. I see family and friends and see the special heart wrenching time of the year were gifts and good eats just light up a room! I love it, year after year after year....

Christmas, and it's not just because of the presents.   I always get this wonderful feeling inside (as cheesy as it sounds).  It's usually the best I feel the whole year.  I get to be with family and friends.  It's just an awesome celebration.

yess christmas is not what it used to be..it is more of a commercial holiday meant for retail stores across the nation to boost their profits
