My god you guys are a bunch of sadsacks. I love the fuck out of Christmas, and I hate both Jesus and consumerism. Snow is beautiful, christmas lights are pretty, and familial warmth is abound.

I had an argument with my friend about this very matter. He kept probing me about why I like christmas, as I'm usually very nihilistic about these things and I'm not christian. For one, "christmas" is about as christian as Danzig's pubic hair. It's a bunch of pagan rituals practiced long before Christ was a celebrity.
I like christmas because - even if it's somewhat fabricated - people are a little nicer and more generous around this time of year. It's really not that hard to avoid the commercialized aspect of christmas and keep it in your own way. Christmas is a great excuse to exchange gifts, eat until you're sick, and spend some well-earned downtime with your loved ones.

As Dr. Suess put it;
"Maybe Christmas doesn't come from a store.
Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more."

Also, Muppet Christmas Carol is the best christmas movie ever. Right next to Bill Murray's "Scrooged".
