    Sadly yes. There are people who love the saccharine sweetness of Christmas and what it represents. It is part of the reason why Christmas has taken over American Thanksgiving.

    It was the happiest time of the year for a large number of adults when they were children and they keep wanting to go back to that happiness.

      “Back in my day” it was a good time because the rest of the year things were tough for the average family, and things were expensive. Christmas somehow had parents scrape together enough for chocolate and toys. And lots of visitors.
