As much as folks like to talk about the religious aspects of the holiday season, I have seen no evidence of it whatsoever. It is purely and 100% commercial. Any religious content is an accidental leftover, a scrap of a distant past which Hallmark hasn't swept away just yet.
I'll be in church on December 24 and December 25. The "religious stuff" is actually what's important to me about Christmas. And the place will be packed. Not 100% commercial. And not accidental.
I'm sorry that you're feeling like a salmon swimming upstream amidst all the increased commercial activity. I too try to avoid that as much as I can..
Jesus, if you're still considering a second coming, don't bother: there's nothing here for you to work with, and you couldn't afford it anyway.
well, it's your blog, so I won't make any comment other than to say that I disagree.
