Spending time with family ? Which you could do at anytime of the year
Time off from work ? again you could do this at anytime of the year, going to church ? eating ? receiving presents ?
Greed….
Utter bollocks. I enjoy all of those things and certainly wouldn’t define them as being greed.
You’re missing the collective point of it all! EVERYONE (well, most at least) is/are off, happy, merry and geared up to spending time, money, thoughts on each other at this one time of year.
Decorated houses, pretty lights in towns, joyful music, happy people and lots of nice food and good camaraderie, all at one point in the year where everyone can enjoy it.
Forget the religious connotations, forget the bah humbug – “I don’t do Christmas” mentality. It’s a great time of year to just enjoy LIFE in all it’s aspects….well, except perhaps sun and long, light days.
