Christmas is what you make it...as much commercialism as there is to the Christian celebration of Christmas, (and, yes, I understand the celebration's pagan roots) it is a relatively simple matter to make of Christmas what you want. You can choose to see it as crass commercialism and let it affect you to your core. You can get offended at every reference to Christmas you see and spend a couple of months pissed off about everything. You can see it as an opportunity to pick fights over things that ultimately come down to a select few obnoxious assholes. People who don't like Christmas or Christians have been complaining for years about the whole season of Christmas...I don't imagine it is going to change. The only person who can change it for you is...you.
