Just as the title says. Its fallen to be just a day to give and get stuff. I wish more people thought of it in a religious way but I can't change that. So what's Christmas to you?
What is Christmas to you?

Christmas to me is a beautiful day. I just love the decorations people put up during Christmas time. <3 The snow also makes the scenery much more lovely.
But in all honesty, I think Christmas is really only a way to get more stuff.

Yeah, and it's a way for stores to make money.kineticsilvia563 said:
Time off school, with family, and an excuse to buy and receive stuff during a consumerist destroyed celebration.
It's a time to spend with family and play games. The food is also amazing.
Christmas itself has turned into a giant commercial, so the only aspects I enjoy are the family and watching the snow outside.
Commercialism at it's finest, and the holiday that has lost all meaning.
Plus, don't believe in Christ so why bother celebrating.

Agreed.yoshi15 said:
Christmas to me is about family, fun, presents, food, Jesus... Really, I think it's a great holiday to spend with family and friends. And there's just something about this time of year that makes everyone feel jolly. =P

This, basically. Also egg-nog, but that's not as important.
People get presents, businesses make money. Sounds like a great holiday to me.
Just because it has "Christ" in it, doesn't mean it has anything to actually do with Jesus. It was originally a Wiccan/Pagan holiday. And Jesus couldn't have been born in December [in the bible, there were Shepherds in the fields + other deciding factors during the time He was born].

Christmas is a day off of school for me as well as a day to receive stuff and give a little stuff back.

The main point was on the top about Jesus not being born exactly on Christmas Day, and it explains mostly the other stuff. Just wanted to point that thing out.

Oh, I thought we were gonna debate, sorry
Just another holiday to show that the end of Advent has come.
A day where families get together, hand over gifts, and go on vacation. Along here, there's no snow, but there's no problem with that, as it is natural here.

Either way, it's still a Christian holiday and it's main purpose is to celebrate the birth of Jesus.
I'm an Atheist by the way, Squido.

This! When you get older you kinda start to care less about gifts and begin to prefer the time with friends and family.
It's only another inconvenience in my life. I slighty like my family coming over. The gifts, I don't anticipate.
