Thank you! It is nice to hear something about Christmas that isn't just associated with giving and receiving presents. Christmas is supposed to be a religious holiday and all anybody ever talks about is shopping. When I was younger that is all I thought about too, but in the last few years the commercialism of Christmas has started to bother me. I mean it is nice to give gifts to people and it makes you feel really great when you see that someone really likes what you gave them, but people make that the whole meaning of Christmas. I have one friend who goes absolutly nuts around Christmas, buying practically everything in sight, but then she says she doesn't believe in God. I wonder then why she even celebrates Christmas. I don't know, but it seems to me that the whole meaning for the season is not really there anymore.
