Excuse me, are you a lemming?

Why do people celebrate Christmas? Is it because -

a. They are celebrating the birth of their saviour, Jesus Christ

or

b. They believe it is the season for giving, kindness, good cheer and spending time with loved ones

If it's A, okay, no harm in that. After all, Jesus is a key figure in christianity and all that jazz. You attend mass, sing xmas carols, go for confession etc etc. It's a religious time lah.

But if it's B.. Then i believe that they have been brainwashed by the Gods of Consumerism with their fancy commercials and street decorations into believing that they actually need a season to practice 'giving, kindness, good cheer and spending time with loved ones'! If that is the case, then i believe christmas should be everyday. The world would certainly be a better place..
