I'm giving everyone copies of my album for christmas! That's what I always do...they prefer it, coz they get to see what I'm up to and it's more personal.

I'd be as happy if I said "no, wait - don't buy something for me, get something for yourself!" instead - in fact, I'd be more happy, because they'd not be disappointed, and I wouldn't have to go Christmas shoppping at the busiest time of year.

well the tip is to do shopping all during the year when things go on sale or clearances
i start shopping right after xmass is over, everything goes down to 75% off
warping paper is almost free boxes you get with purchaced items
only one person gets something i buy that i pay full price and sometimes its one or two items

yes, maybe it it pointless to moan about people complaining about Christmas, but personally I can't see how anyone can be TOTALLY against Christmas... if nothing else you get at least one day off from work or something... usually, maybe unless you're a doctor, or Ophecks!! :)
A friend of my sisters, well his father died on Christmas day... so I can understand that... but even that doesn't have anything to do with the normal Christmas traditions... I don't know though... of course it's not as fun as when you were younger, but it can still be great...
personally anyways, I love Christmas... my family is religious, but I'm not that much nowadays... but if one doesn't like the religious aspect of it, just ignore that... mostly that is left out of stuff like tv shows and shit nowadays... also, if you're against the commercial aspect, just don't give gifts... for me, the basic thing about Christmas is that it makes me happy... I know exactly about what Zeus said about winter being depressing, as I myself have gone through seasonal depression... but no matter, Christmas still makes me happy... just find something that makes you happy, and do it on Christmas... shrug!

Xmas is shite. It has its origins in religion - bad. And it has grown into a capitalist meltdown - also bad. People struggle to afford it and spending countless hours trying to find the 'right' presents for people. And for what?
You say being anti-Xmas is contrived, then what is Xmas if not contrived?

For who? The shareholders of the companies who make a killing out of the "season of goodwill"? Yeah, they rub their hands with glee as people run up massive debts to buy their products.

Why do you only get together at Xmas? Why do you need Xmas as an excuse? That's bullshit.

for me it's the combination of everything... the getting together, the turkey dinner, the decorations, the snow, the Christmas tv shows, the movies, and yes the gifts... I like getting stuff as much as the next guy...

People basically like Christmas because they are programmed to like it as children - school's out, the lights and decorations and snow are pretty, the relatives come over and give them presents, there's holiday cartoons and specials on television and good food - so when they grow up anything "christmasy" is like ringing a bell and making a dog salivate.
THE RETAIL SECTOR WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONDITIONED RESPONSE MERRY CHRI$TMA$ AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR HO HO HO

if you leave santa some milk and cookies, you will get *more* presents next year. if you leave a carrot and a note that says 'no cookies for you, fatso' you will get *less* presents next year.
