Christmas is indeed a complete con.
How many people actually go to church, or even celebrate the Jesus bit anymore. Just a few crazy christain types probably in their zimmer frames or multicoloured buses.
Its all a commercially based scheme to get us to spend money on crap and keep the economy turning over in our consumer driven society. Some of the retail numbers are frightening - something like half of the years sales in 4 weeks.
Christmas should be abolished and replaced with a national holiday in the summer when peeps can do something with the time off other than watching rubbish telly whilst it chucks it with rain outside.
