Christmas as it is celebrated today is mostly just a huge way for stores to make money. From trees, decor, to ridiculous spending, the holiday is a farce. Stress, guilt and worry aboud about how much, how many and how can we prove we are giving the most, to the most. Wheres the love people? Why do so many go hog wild to prove they can produce a grand and meaningless christmas. if you spent more than a hundred dollars you are in the "commercial" trap zone.

Christmas is not in the Holy Bible but a doctrine and tradition of the Roman Catholic Church. There are now many people who are not Catholics and so the celebration is no longer as before.

I don't think it matters if a tree is fake or real, because as long as it looks nice and its decorated how they want it to be its christmassy. Not everyone has the space in their house for a christmas tree, so just having decorations is nice too. I think as long as people celebrate it as they want to its nice, because it doesn't matter what other people think as long as their not disturbing other people. I like the lights people put up outside their houses and in their windows. I like all the decorations with santas and reindeers aswell as ones with snowmen and stars because they look kiddy and interesting too. ~Joeys wife
