Do you wish Christmas would come and go quickly or do you look forward to it with great enthusiasm? Do you believe Christmas has lost its meaning given all the materialistic connotations associated with it or does it still have a special place in your heart?

Yes I love Christmas time!! But I do think that these days it has lost all meaning to the majority of people in society. Christmas is supposed to be a time to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, it's a Christian celebration and that should not be forgotten! I also think it's sad that shops and the like are being forced not to put up nativity scenes because it will apparently 'offend non-christians'. Well honestly if these non-christians are going to be offended they should be offended by the whole christmas celebration, the tree the decorations, everything. It's not like non-Christians would be offended by this celebration anyway! It's political correctness gone mad! Christmas is a special time of year for Christian people and should be seen for what it truly is, not some commercial money grabbing exercise by greedy retailers.
