Another Christmas over, not a Scrooge, but the holiday was created for retail stores, they simply wouldn’t survive without it most business would be closed, honestly Santa wasn’t created at the beginning of time and gifts or presents weren’t required in Jesus days. It’s unfortunate a another holiday created for business. Believe me do you how many kids get zero, so that’s all you need to no. Another holiday that’s created for what, retail stores, not everyone receives a gift. I’m glad it’s over, if it wasn’t for Christmas most wouldn’t even see there familiar utter ridiculous , excuse of a holiday. Not my opinion just the truth.

I understand what you're saying. I do work in a retirement community and see a lot of widows/widowers with nobody and I think sometimes Christmas must be nothing for them. To me it's for the kids excitement. I love the presents and lights and memories. It's also about Jesus for a lot of us. Without Him there's no reason for the season.

Yes nothing better than seeing a kid open up a gift, however I can’t forget about the elderly people in nursing homes that don’t get any visitor, actually that’s the saddest thing I experienced when I went to see my grandparents, I made it a point to talk to them, these people need the same attention as everyone else just because they are fading away. So Christmas is a fabricated holiday for stores , why most stores can’t stay open without. So I think we can serve god much better than gifts that most don’t like or take back, if we would become true families again like they used to be, yes we always have poor folks, but there was a gleam or something that was special. In ending this would be the ultimate gift that nothing else can match, what you say. IF EVERY KID GREW UP WITH A MOM AND DAD, THIS DAM WORLD WOULD BE AMUCH BETTER PLACE. YOU NAME A GIGT BETTER THAN THAT, A MOM AND DAD, THANKYOU

Gifts were given at the very first Christmas ~ gold, frankincense, and myrrh. It has been a tradition for a very long time, long before there were retail stores. St. Nicholas was born in the third century, 270 AD, and his gift-giving is the basis for the modern St. Nick.

Yeah but gift giving got out of hand, you give bread, or wine, or like Jesus days. Christmas is for retail stores, they simply can’t stay open without it, heck stores close down anyway. Dont you notice the calendar is full of a day for this and that, to purchase stuff. I’m going create a day to,

I agree with you that it is very much commercialized today....and when retailers forbid workers to say "Merry Christmas" I think people should shop elsewhere.
