I also think Christmas has lost it's true meaning and become over commercialized, but on the flip side, it is one holiday that thrills kids with the Santa image. I'm sure many of us remember the thrill of Christmas mornings. I'm sick of it being shoved down our throats right around Halloween time...as lady_zana said, and am tired of hearing about the fights that break out over material things people have to have! Grown adults brawling over stuff when it goes on sale...absurd! The only real extreme part of their display is it likely scares kids half to death. Most adults can at least understand what message is being said with that display, but most young kids probably don't. But that may be a good thing if they're really being bad!
