Do You Think Christmas Is Overrated

[risque]

No, because people who are less fortunate/living on the streets have one day they can remember as a good one, plus it's a pretty good occasion for most people all round.

Ye... Do you think xmas is a tad averrated i think somewhere along the line its lost its true meaning and its all about Greed for presents...

Anyone else agreee?

I agree, it never used to be like this. It was great when I was little, waking up getting excited about the next day with family over and the food, the presents were about as equal. Now it seems children nowadays just want the presents...

[hit-by-a-car]

no, presents rule. But Yes jesus we should see more off. And x-mas decorations.

Nope, the true meaning of christmas is the presents, celibration and togetherness of friends and family, has been for around 7000 years. Although for the first 5000 it wasnt called christmas

Yes it's too commercialised now.

[Eamonn]

No, underrated, there are too many people who are Grinch's now adays.

Only comes once a year folks.

[massacre]

nope. :s

[uber]

Yes.
There should be no gifts given. Well maybe small ones to say thanks but no big things like now.
It's totally over-the-top and should just be about meeting your family and having a good time.

How the hell can christmas have been around for 7000 years if the whole meaning of it is to celebrate the birth of christ? Were people psychic then and knew he was gonna be born?

That is the most stupid thing I have ever heard. Overrated this, overrated that. It's getting bloody annoying now, everything just has to be overrated these days doesn't it... :rolleyes_

I don't think it is over-rated, i mean it is christmas, you only live once, so enjoy christmas.

Christmas is awesome, but i do think it's over rated a bit now, with decorations going up in the middle of november and christmas stuff in shops before halloween has even finished :s.

I do like spending time with my family in the christmas period and as Seacat said, without the stress of college / work.
