That sums it up. The only difference is that I arrived there 20 years ago. I was incensed, and dumped the "season". I have found that there are many excuses to continue with the habit called Christmas. If I remember, it was invented by Macy's. It's not even the time of year in which Jesus was born. It vaguely resembles the three wise men. But that's where it ends. Stop making bombs. Start feeding and educating. Come up to a common denominator. Then we'll celebrate.

Who needs Christ when you have Santa.
