The Reason for the Season?

I can remember being upset over the commercialization of Christmas. That so much time and energy was spent on things and advertising and "buy this" and "buy that". All that it gets from me this year is a shoulder shrug. It's not because I'm here in Iraq and away from it all, it's more like, "Who cares anyway?"

I mean, if Jesus was only relegated to a season, there might be a cause for being upset that his position was usurped by Santa Claus, Rudolph, Frosty, Christmas trees and presents. But he's not and those things are.
