      That’s not historically correct, early heads of the church conveniently changed the dates of a particular birthday, in a particular story, to be more important to the Jews as they were the main targets for conversion, Dec 25th was already an important date to the Jews before they heard of Jesus, just like the pilgrims never had turkey and stuffing on the “first” thanksgiving, that baseless assertion was added into the tradition later, but it all makes people happy and that’s all I care about

      I would always have my crayola marker ready and start straight to the toy section with my brother and sister! I miss the old ways. You didn't have to wait for a monitor to turn on, or system's to turn back up, or anything crashing, no hacking concerns (unless your chain smoking mom was coughing up a lung!) there were caroller's at your front door all happy (no fear of them robbing you) and everyone had those good old fashioned Christmas lights on with multi-coloured fat bulbs that the newspaper kid would steal to pop one later with his friends! It wasn't as materialistic, and there stronger ethics and manners back than!!! Ahh! Yes! We weren't warn and told to only say Season's Greetings back than. It was plain and simple, with true warmth and meaning of 'Merry Christmas' and 'Godbless' Morals! What are those again?😔

      Exactly. Just look at how many of these lovely commercials wish people a happy holiday. These days, if you try doing that, you'll get yelled at by taking the Christ out of Christmas or how being PC is an act of war on Christmas. Heck, you can't even spell it Xmas without someone being offended. Christmas is still a happy holiday, and X is a cross, the Greek letter Christos, but I'm flat out done with defending myself to these people. I no longer wish anyone a happy holiday. It's better to be a Scrooge than to deal with people in these modern times. Bah humbug!

      Christian themed commercials were not snubbed.
      KMART and Sears were still relevant.
      Junk food and sugar laden treats were heavily promoted using children as spokespersons.
      Dolly Parton was drop dead gorgeous.
      Claymation was cutting edge technology .
      And Christmas was still the most anticipated, heart warming, holiday of the year.
      Wonder what the next forty to fifty years will bring.

      Well we have lots of commercials that look Christmasy but none of them will say the word Christmas like most of these commercials. All the stores want you to buy “holiday” gifts and refer to something called Holiday, but none say Christmas. It really ruins the magic of Christmas. It’s really hard to get in the Christmas spirit when no one says Christmas! Our country has really lost its way when it comes to Christmas. It’s always a very sad time of the year now.
