I think Christmas is what you make it. If you want to see it as a religious holiday, then it is one. If you want to see it as an over-comercialized, meaningless holiday created by big companies and the media, orchestrated just so they can squeeze the last few bucks out of you and every other mindless gear slave of the corporate machine, then it will be. If you just see it as a time to get together with family, and exchange gifts with them because they mean a lot to you, then that's what it will be.
