Dear Yeti,

Why do people hate Christmas?

At first, I thought to myself: "Does anyone really hate Christmas?" Who would hate the fact that you get the day off of work to eat fudge and get presents from people? That's insane! But unfortunately in today's world, we're always afraid of offending someone by telling them "Merry Christmas."

Here's what it's come down to: Christmas is all 'bout the stuff. The lights, the candy, the shopping, the fighting, the drinking, all that good stuff that one does with family. Christmas is commercial. That's a given fact. And you can make an argument that other holidays around this time such as Chanakauh and Kwanzaa are also becoming more commercialized. Everything has become a Hallmark holiday.

Is anyone really offended by this? SANTA?!?! SONGS?!?!? NATIVITY SCENES?!?! Is Christmas really a religious holiday anymore? Honestly, at this point, Christmas isn't what it used to be. I say believe in what you want and celebrate how you want. That's everyone's right. But don't come along and hate on a holiday or get all bent out of shape if someone is celebrating in a different way that you. Are you really offended? Me thinks probably not and you just want some attention.


This says it all folks

Until next time,

The Yeti
