In my view, Christmas is not about the religion any more, its about the presents and Santa.

Just remember the real reason of Christmas while opening your presents on Christmas Morning.

I have thought that it could be for a bit now. Although I believe Christmas is the BEST time of they year I think it's gone too far when christmas adverts are on television and placed in shops in the middle of November! And alot of people do only think of the presents.

This is getting off topic - the discussion is supposed to be about if Christmas is all about the presents, or about Jesus.

Even I admit - I look forward to the presents, yet we ALWAYS go to Mass. It just annoys me seeing Christmas lights up in the middle of July. The shops arent any better. I think, would this be here if Jesus would be born? Comment.

For people who didnt know Santa was GREEN, it was stupid Coca-Cola that turned it to the red it was today, he was also Gold at one point but thats something I dont know why.

In Holland most ppl do think about the real reason why christmas is there, the fact that jesus is born and stuff, i dont believe in jesus nor god...in holland we light up candles everyday and all the nonsense, most ppl dont do santa claus but sinterklaas (dutch festival) but i believe in america and england it is mostly about santa, the presents and all the stuff and goodtime with ur family, x-mas trees. I dont think its wrong..

Commercialism ruined Santa and Christmas, low prices, RED Santa, I would think he should be his old natural self not Coca Cola Santa.

I agree Gomme.
Why is our culture going down the drain? Why is Britain turning into America II? Maybe that's a topic for a seperate debate...

I find it very sad that people dont even THINK why we have Christmas. Commercialism has turned Santa red, presents are more important than the religion, and have you see THAT picture of the nativity in Madame Tussauds?!

That IS distasteful. If you can't see, they're all celebrities. :@
Is this what Christmas is turning into?

PS. Well done Gomme, you're back as a normal member! Lmao!
