Do you wish Christmas would come and go quickly or do you look forward to it with great enthusiasm? Do you believe Christmas has lost its meaning given all the materialistic connotations associated with it or does it still have a special place in your heart?

Christmas is over-rated?
Why?
Because it is now, nothing more than a commercial rip off, from every angle.
Stores bring out Christmas specials and jack up their prices.
Petrol companies take advantage of increased travel and spending on petrol - and jack up their prices.
The tourism industry in general and that includes Hotels and Airlines, have a captive market that will pay anything - and jack up their prices.
Need I go on?
Perhaps I should ... Christmas has a huge and negative effect on our environment.
All that extra rubbish, tonnes of wrapping paper unwanted presents where do they go? Landfill and pollution.
All that extra travel from cars, planes and trains - polluting the atmosphere.
Increased alcohol sales - look at at he carnage on our roads over the "festive"
season.
Peace on earth and good will to all men? Not an y more I'm afraid.
