So the commercialization of Christmas isn't so bad.
Considering the history of Christmas (it used to be celebrated much like Mardi Gras in New Orleans is today), it's pretty tame!

Purchasing OR making something and giving it to someone else because you love them and are happy. It just cant be bad.
