True Meaning of Christmas

Hearing some of the commercials are driving me nuts.Annoyed

I’m not talking about those commercials that tells you to buy buy buy buy for the person you love love love. But the ones that concludes that Christmas is not about buying presents, that the true meaning of Christmas is to ‘spend time with your family’ or ‘to give and to share your love with others’ (usually those are the charity commercial and asks you to donate $$).

Yeah, the true meaning of Christmas is definitely about buying and sales that’s right. But it’s not about those pseudo meanings either. Yes, those sounds so legit with a good message and all that but it’s still not the ‘true’ meaning.

Correct me if I’m wrong here and maybe I’m mistaken but I thought that Christmas is about the birth of Christ.

They are wrong and they sounds like they _know_ that’s the true meaning and to tell the audience a matter-of-factly the wrong concept.

I wonder how many ppl who does not know the story of Christ would actually be misled by these commercials and how many ppl how kinda know the story of Christ but a believer nor very religious would slowly get assimilated into this ‘It’s season greetings, not merry Christmas’ culture.

They have to be politically corect ma... guess not every religion celebrates Christmas the way Christians do... and for saying that Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Christ would be offensive to some religion...

And dec 24-25 I thought was not the official date for Christ' birth... it was put on that day or something ... forgot for what reason tho....
Btw merry christmas.
