    Christmas is OK but I every year I am piss*d of with the fact I hear jingle bells song for million times. It is worse thing to hear than James Blunt :)

    For me the spirit of Christmas has been crushed by unbridled capitalism turning it into three month long season of shameless consumerism. With stores trying to extend the Christmas shopping season to before Halloween, by the time Christmas day does arrive I am so completely burned out on Christmas and all of the ads the I just want it to be over with.

    I love christmas because it is the time when I get to meet my close relatives again. (after a year) Although I hate the thought of spending lots of money. :(

    I enjoy Christmas because my kids enjoy Christmas.

    Other than that, its just another day that costs me a lot of money.

    Speaking of Xmas, it isn't as much of an offensive term as some may think. The X stands for "the cross" which represents all that Jesus is about, well beyond a manger...He died for our sins.

    The 'X' represents the Greek letter 'Chi'. Which is also the first letter of the Greek word Christos, which is basically Christ.

    christmas hasn't been 'interesting' since my early teens. It's just gotten worse since christmas keeps getting earlier and earlier every year. By the time Dec 25 gets here, it's completely nauseating.

    Christmas always excites me. It always has that "caring" feeling between your family and friends. :D
