Is anyone else sick of the Christmas commercialism?

I do all the decorating & gifting because of the grand kids but would just rather go to church & have a small family dinner. The kids get so much all through the year, it seems the more they get, the more they look for. Christmas has become too much about the gifts and who can outdo each other. It used to seem more reverent and simple when I was younger. I know they would be upset if I didn't participate but sometimes I just want to say no,no, no!

    I am. But I think that you're onto something.

    I think you should speak up more about this. Not with your family as much, cause you might start something that will be too stressful. If you're stressed now (no no no no no was the sign), then mentioning this while that stressed could start a fight.

    So I'd start with people who you have no emotional connection with and then get this out there... you have a very positive message!

    I am. But I mean, with commercialism, I don't think of the decorating and kids (they are KIDS!) don't really know the true meaning when they are young. I think of how no store cares about Christmas or customers. It;s just sell sell sell, and with customers, it's just save money, save money, save money!
