Look at the culture we live in....what do you expect? Most people obsess over money, get caught up in consumerism/materialism, over eat, and drink too much, spend money they don\'t have, buy things they don\'t need, 365 days a year. Christmas just kicks everything up a notch or two. I say enjoy it while it lasts. Things might not be this good or this easy forever. If you literally had no money and no family and no food and no beer and no headies and no breakfast shows to look forward to... my guess is you would all be wishing for a good old fashioned American Christmas. I know I would be. I would probably kick and scream like a little **** for a while if I had nothing to give or receive or enjoy with friends and family. Then I\'d pick myself up off the floor and get on with life. So enjoy the good stuff in moderation while it lasts, and try not to get too caught up in it all. Eat that extra cookie, have that extra glass of wine, enjoy that silly piece of electronics and plastic, just don\'t get too attached because sooner or later your going to have to leave it all behind anyway. Have a Merry Christmas Everyone :)
Very well said.
If you can and you want to, give to your family and friends.
If you can afford to give to those in need... even better.
If you can\'t, then don\'t.
If you don\'t want to, that\'s fine too.
Hope everyone enjoyed the holidays.

I\'ve checked out of the "buying big" line on Christmas. I\'ve explained to my family (who is extremely materialistic and very large) that I just won\'t do it anymore. Christmas has always been stressful for me and I refuse to give up my values and what\'s important to me and anymore. I buy something for everyone, it\'s small, usually thoughtful, and costs me 30-40 bucks. If they aren\'t happy because I\'m not spending enough I laugh and say, "Ohhh the irony." I feel much better about Christmas these days.
My Uncle even bought me God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything by Christopher Hitchens and my family doesn\'t treat me like the Grinch because of my respect for their views and my silent but strong stance for mine.
I like Christmas more and more as I get older because I finally decided to detatch myself from all of the things I hated about the holiday, which were stated in leith\'s post. All I can do is this, so **** \'em if they don\'t want to listen or understand, and cool if they do.

With all due respect, if you live in the UK and still "wish it wasn\'t raining", maybe you should move.
Ouch, drew - suggest moving cos of the weather? Nope! Rain doesn\'t bother me, but if it means my little \'un can\'t go out, then it\'s a sod. However, it did dry up for a few hours today, so we managed to do a few circuits outside - Miss Steppenwolf is now born!! :)

merry christmas to you all. let\'s all gather round the warm, lumnious glow of the yule log for another year. let\'s all sing a carol or two ar buy another christmas cd for christ\'s sake. give, give, give. oh wait...you can\'t unless you buy, buy, buy. just what we need. a country where a lot of people have to sacrifice buying food and clothing to compensate for the brutal ass **** that we have all suffered at the hands of the oil companies. ya know, the ones who really run the show in america. if we can\'t afford the bare essentials to live so we can drive, i mean we shouldn\'t have a problem buying ridiculously over priced presents and most likely racking up even more credit card debt all for the sake of christmas and the holiday spirit, cuz that\'s what ya have to do. i must just be a negative person for feeling that way. well, i could get nothing and be perfectly happy just to be with my family, jen and friends.
wait, jesus wasn\'t born on december 24th?!? those dumb pagans must\'ve stolen the idea for a "winter solstice" and coincidently planned it interestingly close to his birth. oh wait, i think it was the other way around. ;)

Just getting together with the fam for the day having a meal or two, a drink or two.
That\'s what it\'s all about - looking forward to my first Christmas morning with my daughter being old enough to really react to the presents she\'s got. Just wish it wasn\'t raining, so we could try out her trike! (But then we could be in the grip of a snow storm -hope all of you are keeping safe.)
Well, it\'s Christmas here already, so have a good one guys and gals!

Have a great Christmas. I have grown to love it so much more since my little cousins were born: (https://thebreakfast.info/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fa176.ac-images.myspacecdn.com%2Fimages01%2F127%2Fl_70b169b00d8297475424e23bc416f437.jpg&hash=5a728e80512c49d76f066327135631dee720b21b)

Jesus Christ wasn\'t even born on Christmas, numbnuts.
The holiday is a complete sham.
Does not matter. The millions upon millions of Christians have decided this is the day we celebrate our Saviors birth and it is pretty despicable that a religious holiday so important to us has been corrupted in such a way. It\'s a wonder that other religions have not been pillaged so by corrupt capitalistic ****!

We aren\'t doing gifts at my house this year. Just getting together with the fam for the day having a meal or two, a drink or two. That\'s it. I have one neice (5yrs old) we got her gifts, but that\'s it. It was/is nice.

Just got back from Christmas mass... I won\'t get into it for the sake of not offending anybody on Christmas Eve, but I definitely remembered why I stopped going to church.

The symbol of Capitalism and Commercialism corrupts this wonderful Holiday Season and is despicable. The act of imitating the 3 Wise Men giving gifts to Jesus is now linked forever with a creation of advertising shills concerned with selling you **** you do not need and encouraging your children to become materialistic money grubbing slaves to society.
ah leith...you\'re like a breath of fresh air! you take the words out of my mouth....any other stupid cliche lines you want to hear? I totally agree that christmas should be about being with your family and just having a good ol\' time...but commercialism and greed has taken over this holiday my friend. and quite frankly, because of that, i turn into the grinch this time of year. I hate christmas...in fact I loathe christmas! and i was raised roman catholic. there\'s just too much crap to worry about. we have 30+ people at my house, quite a few are little kids running around and screaming/crying etc. people get in the way in the kitchen, too much food needs to be made, not enough $$ to buy presents, going out into crappy traffic and overstuffed stores to buy said presents that there isn\'t enough $$ for...yadda yadda yadda. and every year i plan on getting hammered, but i never do. so this year, i told my brother he needs to make sure i always have a drink in hand/mouth and that i get sloppy shitty! that way i won\'t be able to care about or even remember this craptastic holiday!
the best holiday ever is thanksgiving! it\'s not overly commercialized or about propaganda. you gather around a ****-ton of food with family and friends and give thanks that you are able to do that. all holidays should be like turkey-day!
