the other sad thing is organisations which dnt gie a shit about Jesus rinse the fuck out of it to maximise there profits .. clearly its just become a marketing gimmick for them to make their millions..
Christmas is all about fun, joy, family, money, gadgets and anal sex.
Like I see it, Christmas is not a religious thing anymore. It's more like a cultural thing. So I don't feel guilty at all. It's just a well deserved vacation.
I told my parents many years ago that I find it hypocritical to absolutely not believe in religion or like anything about it, then turn around and celebrate Christmas just because it's pleasant or something. So I told them I'm not gonna do this anymore. And I don't. I don't give out cynical remarks when kids are around, but that's about it.

Even with the religious aspect, it's just a materialistic bullshit holiday.

At least those organizations you're talking about give something positive back to the people and that's the real Christmas spirit. Christmas is all about fun, joy, family, money, gadgets and anal sex.
I enjoy the tradition of it, and that's how I celebrate it.
