Its not just the fact that Christmas has been commercialized, although thats part of it. Most of these Christmas traditions, ie the gift exchange, the greenery, and such have roots in other that we Christians consider false. When you go back to the origins of things you realized that a lot of things we do as traditions are based on a lie. Christmas started off as the worship of the sungod Mithria sp? long before Christ was born. I am not trying to ruin it for anyone but it was brought up so. I dont know. Its hard for people to let go of things that they have been doing their entire lives. But for me, I look at Christmas as having pagan roots because if you read up on it you will discover that we celebrate Christmas in a way that made it convient for missionaries to spread Christianity to people but still let them keep their own form of worship. I am sorry if I offended anyone.
