I spent over a decade tending bar during which time I learned to hate the Christmas holidays. During the holiday period of excessive emotional wattage the drunks tend to alternate between crying over lost happiness and beating the living hell out of one another lol. The Christmas memory most etched in my mind is one of trying to clear the bar at midnight on Christmas Eve while a bunch of drunk chicks were trying to pull each other's hair out and cursing like fish wives. Gotta love it lol.
We used to celebrate(?) Christmas on the 24th December (Weihnachten), exchanging presents and the like to families and friends. The entire ordeal is supposed to last for 2 days if memory serves.
Some might regard this practice as unusual; a foreign doctrine created under the influence Al-Qaeda no less (see "solar cycles").
This season is quite multifacited if for no other reason than the varity of holidays people ceibrate and the amalgimation of traditions that shape the modern pop culture Christmas season. I don't even mind the consumerism part so long as it ramains a facist and not the defining factor. When it becomes the defining factor, the joy is sucked out of the season because it is focused on things instead of people.

In part four (It's a little long, but works in parts) I talk a little about it earliest origins. I think you will agree with my summing up;-)
