Personally I think there are good points and bad points, the commercialism and children without families for example that feel rejected are bad points.

But alot of people get together to celebrate the birth of Christ (whatever exact date this was) and gather together with friends and family, and the 'goodwill to all men' attitude can't be bad.

I agree there should be more Christ in Christmas, but today it is greed and money making that affect its purpose not Pagan Idols and old festivals.
