It makes me cringe when ignorant people talk about how christmas is a cultural festival/celebration..without knowing how it came so..

Christmas was not a secular cultural celebration 100 years. The concept that it is has been proliferated by corporations who exploit people into spending money on 'their loved ones' in the secular 'holiday' season. The very idea that Christmas should be a celebration for everyone most probably came about in a Executive Board Meeting.

Practise and belief of the Christian Religion has been declining quite rapildy in the last 100 years, that's a hell of a lot of customers organisations would/will have lost who will/would spend money on Christmas becos of their Religious affiliation. The solution ? turn in into a cultural/secular celebration so everyone spends money on it.

Digital Pimpin':
Christmas was never really a Christian celebration. They borrowed it from the Roman/pagan idea of a mid winter feast.

Plus Jesus was born in September.

Furor Teutonicus:
It's only a holiday for the economy yes.

Christmas is only good for a few days of peace (=a few days no work/school), but nowadays it's as annoying and stressfull as the rest of the year.

Sikotic™:
If I see one more Christmas ad, I'm going to hang myself.

Agreed.  Under the guise of "cultural and religious tolerance".
