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?

I dread it! Christmas is the absolute worst time of year. It's all commercial BS and is just a time when the lonely, poor or less fortunate in life are made to feel even more less fortunate. If people really wanted to make Christmas special perhaps they could forget about spending loads of dollars on rubbish and spend that money on helping the sick, the dying children, medical research or something else of REAL value in life.....Christmas to me is a nightmare time of year also for road deaths, crime ...the crime is spiked because the desperate feel the need to give their kids everything too just to keep up with the other kids and the Jone's.....such a waste.

The ONLY real winners at Christmas are the retailers and credit card companies. Bahhhhumbuggg
