Christmas Madness!

There is an add on tv at the moment and it just represents Christmas perfectly No its not a loving add about a family beoing together at christmas, but its an add about people histerically shopping. They are madly running around streets looking for that perfect gift. I know the add is obviously exaggurated and meant to be humourous, but i feel its painting the real picture. I don't want to rant on and sound like my grandparents here, but I seriously think Christmas is turning into a time for exchanging gifts instead of a time of goodwill. I know, I know, I'm turning into an o.a.p, but I just think we should cut back on the obsession of getting the correct gift and just have a nice relaxing Christmas, eating a lot of food and hanging with family.
