Do You Think Christmas Is Overrated

[Plank]

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...

christmas has always been about giving & recieving as well as family/food ect, i think most people got excited about getting presents when they were young, i know i did:s

with decorations going up in the middle of november and christmas stuff in shops before halloween has even finished :s.

Exactly, it's stupid. It's not even the start of December, yet people seem to be doing such things.

I hate the way the shops use it as an excuse to sell certain gifts overpriced.

Everything is overated.

Obviously :rolleyes: Now go cry yourslef to sleep

Commenting again; I think it's a pretty good idea to get things up early, for different reasons. Some people like to get their decorations earlier, so they're completely prepared for the occasion. Others like to get the "good" decorations before they're sold out, first - just so they know they have them. Pretty complicated, tbh; but I think it's never too early to start the celebrations? :s

Dunno, tbh.

Yer... But just think, A 5 year old see's Cmas decs in the middle of november and nags on about xmas presents when december hasnt even started. I think Christmas has lost its true meaning and what it means to others.

I changed my sig to a Xmas one because its the start off the Christmas Countdown (Advent)

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?

LMAO, you actualy think the celibration of chistmas has anything to do with jesus? lol, Jesus was born in late janurary, but they changed the dates in there books to fit with the already long established "pagan" midwinter festival. The decemeber celibration predates christanty by a long long time, They only changed the dates in the book, becuse people would have celibrated ther pagan one insted of the "jesus" birth one, so it helped with converting "/

I was talking about this to someone the other day. I think Christmas has gotten way too commercial, all everyone worries about is presents. Not saying I just celebrate Christmas to celebrate Jesus' birth and all that, but it's just getting out of hand, no one cares anymore, they only care about what they're going to receive this year.
