It's true it's fuckin too commercialised nowadays. It's just like Halloween, was really popular 3 or 4 years ago in France but now you barely see 1 or 2 kids dressed up really cheaply. I don't know how it is in USA or UK but it's completely dead here in France.
About christmas though, it's different in a way that it has to do with religion so people don't forget it. I know UK and US are protestant and I don't know how you do Xmas but in France we're almost all catholics and we all go to church that night. It's impossible to just forget it.

I used to love Christmas as a kid but I have so much to sort out on Christmas day that I never get to enjoy it the same anymore.

Aye, I agree christmas has been commercialised nowadays, overpriced rubbish and never snows anymore. Used to love it when I was alot younger was awesome.

But hey It's christmas love it really, it's always loads of fun and parties and everyone has a generally nice attitude

I quite like the build up abit, its awesome to see people actually being happy and nice to each other for a change even though its only for 2 weeks of the year. I dont like the commercialized side to it, but its cool to av a few days off, eat unhealthy amounts and chill. Shopping is quite cool with the lights and and business and pubs and clubs and mistletoe are fun. Thinking about it, christmas is alright actually. Peace
