:lol No doubt in my mind Oprah gets off big time when she gives away crap for free. Least she should do given how much she's made off those ppl.

Coincidentally, it's the commercialization and veering from the 'true meaning of Christmas' that makes it more inclusive. I couldn't be bothered if we truly celebrated Christmas for what it is supposed to be about. If every commercial had the three wise men or a manger, no one would participate. Christmas is this thing that was once rooted in a meaning but through various means it has become something for everyone regardless of their belief system. Ironically, Christmas seems to be the LEAST religious time of year.

Yeah, Christmas isn't really a religious holiday anymore. It's more broad and widely celebrated by a lot of people. I know a few people of different religions who celebrate it. I think it's good though if it's being used to get families together and have a good time. My family's Christmas spirit has dwindled the past 3 years. The only decorations we put up are 2 sets of lights outside. I wouldn't even buy gifts for anyone if my family and cousins didn't buy me stuff.
