It's time we cancel Christmas

My views on the wasteful spending and unnecessary purchasing that happens at Christmas and how criminal it is.

So, your favorite Christmas present would be a $2500 Doctors Without Bornders donation receipt in your name? Never mind anything tangible, like something made by a person who got a job making it.

@Fornenvael I would genuinely love that. I'm sure the economy would get by without someone buying a present for me.

Christmas isn't guilty because you are raised in material and capitalist society!Wallet is given to you moment you go to 1-st grade.You start earning money in early teens.You don't need parents anymore when you earn your own money.Christmas is and was never about material but spiritual.Blame it on the World and Order you live in.Where everything has it's worth and it's seen through $.Become Orthodox Christian,we see Christmas or any other sacred holiday as what it should be,not what's fed to us

@Fornenvael Right, never mind anything tangible- like a child being saved from a disease by that doctor you just paid to send to Africa.

1:05 I´m here to live and enjoy life not just surviving and if i have to buy stuff that, although not essencial for my survival, makes me happy and allows me to enjoy life even more, so be it.

Such a total bullshit. Don't talk about money of other people. It's not your deal to count money of other people spent. Get it? And all world isn't just you dirty stupid Australia. I'm christian and I know enough about my religion and about history of this world and my native land.

Such people like you destroy our civilisation. You feminists, atheists, liberals, freaks and homosexuals. Anyone who isn't dumb knows what Christmas is about. You better say something about bloody shit of Islam. Don't tell us about Christianity.

I agree 100%. Christmas has become who gets the most costly gift. People don't even know what Christmas is about.

I Agee with you 100% young lady.

I say throw it all out because it's irreparably commercially and culturally corrupted. It's another mindless scripted compulsion. More than one people has an event where they give their most precious possession away; a slap in the face of having two (xmas,valentines) holidays centered around gifts as commercial culture dictates. This is preceded by a mass carnage of turkeys and a vast waste of pumpkins prior to that. The young trees instant trash.

Let's have a week off in Summer! Just for fun.
