To start with the first reply:

It's that time of year again. December has come and with it all the joys of Christmas. But what is the real meaning of Christmas? Is it the gifts under the tree, the lights in the windows, the cards in the mail, turkey dinners with family and friends, snow in the yard, stockings hanging in the living room, and shouts of "Merry Christmas" to those who pass us in the streets? Is this really Christmas?

For many people, Christmas is a time of sorrow. They don't have the extra money to buy presents for their children, family, and friends. Many are saddened at Christmastime when they think of their loved ones who will not be able to come home for various reasons. Turkey dinners may be only a wish and not a reality for some.

So i think personal that non of the 3 are correct but ebenezer scrooge comes close to my point since christmas is all about love and sharing for that 1 or 2 days in the year to give the weak a better moment for there lives and that the riches are sharing there greed to the poor.

Merry christmas to you all

Well, the way it is here, it seems that for the most part Christmas is booze, tables full of food, partying, usually a guaranteed argument that may escalate into a fight. In my family it's a bit less extreme, but more or less of the same.

I like Christmas as a holiday, but typically it's the time of year when some people get into a loud argument, so I usually just take a glass of wine and disappear into my cave.

Where I live Christmas doesn't exist and it never snows here and my parents or any other human can be as mad and an ass as much as they want or would be at any other time of their life and I never ate a turkey but after eating a duck about 2 times in my life I feel like a turkey would be my most favorite food... back in the day when life was a happy land full of joy we placed a small toy Christmas tree on our TV (wow that's miserable now that I think about it) we also have normal days in school on Christmas and most of the times a test... the only way I can get a Christmas feeling is by playing a computer game which has a Christmas event... my life is poo

I really doubt that anyone here will hate on you because of the country in which you live, and if they do, they'll probably just keep it to themselves.
