Today's Christmas is no longer a celebration of
             Christ and happiness, but is a celebration of a now
             fake, commercialized, overweight Santa Claus. The idea
             of eating yet another turkey dinner while watching a
             forgettable Disney movie on television brings tears
             of pain, not joy, to one's eyes. The main virtues
             of the holidays have gone from an idealistic white
             wonderland, to a migraine-causing festival of greed.
             The Christmas of the past was once a beautiful
             celebration of the birth of Christ. Families would
             come together to enjoy the holidays together in a
             peaceful, loving environment. Children ran around in
             a pine scented home, clamoring over the presents that
             Santa had brought the night before. Even if the family
             was struggling, children would appreciate the hard
             work and thought put into each gift. At night mothers,
             fathers, brothers and sisters would curl beside a
             blazing fire and watch a classic Christmas movie
             called, "It's a Wonderful Life". This is what the true
             The Christmas of the present is not what it used
             to be. What once was a delightful, Christmas caroling
             time is now a chaotic, screaming in someone's face
             nightmare. Relatives avoid each other for fear of
             actually reliving bad childhood family moments.
             Children still run around the house clamoring over
             presents, but not from under a nice smelling pine
             tree, but from an aluminum death trap waiting to fall
             over and spit out sparks of electricity. While the
             children still enjoy this time, they too have lost
             all sense of the Christmas spirit. They throw tantrums
             and scream and shout over the Furby or Pokemon doll
             that they didn't get. So what if their parents are
             having trouble making ends meet, how dare they not be
             able to buy them that ridiculously expensive toy?
             Sure they won't play with it after two weeks, but
             hear them scream and shout if they don't have it
             ...
