I think what tends to happen is that there seems to be so much pressure to have a perfect Christmas time (whatever that is), and some people get all stressed out, which doesn't help.
How about we just all go with the flow, realise there's absolutely nothing worth watching on TV, accept that Mum-in-law will be as annoying as usual, the kids will cause mayhem, and so what if you spent £100 on someone's gift, but they spent a tenth of that on yours?
You see what makes Christmas the exact opposite of what it's supposed to be, is the expectation that people put on it.

I have NO IDEA how this became a Christmas song...
The only thing I can think of is that someone said, "Wow, somebody invented Rudolph as part of a marketing campaign and now he's everywhere! I can do that, too!". The problem is, a cute little red-nosed reindeer seems to draw a bigger crowd than an Italian donkey...

I can't tell you how many conversations I've overheard in checkout lines about the Christmas juggernaut starting way too early, yet here we are again, two months out with radio stations playing holiday music 24/7, displays encroaching on all retail space and everything Christmas utterly secularized and commercialized pervading our daily life.
The saddest part is that even those who embrace the season are jettisoning the sweet, sentimental holiday traditions because they take too much effort after the completion of the holiday obligations.
To me it seems people are no longer festive.

Sadly I agree 100% - I used to be very festive but as life goes on I find myself just looking forward to it being over. I only enjoy the time off work.
My kids are grown. I see no good reason to mess with a tree. Somehow, the Boy Scouts have survived with my yearly patronage of their money making endeavors. I sure miss that mess in my house..... NOT.
Christmas never really goes away, it's always there in the background, and starts to increases in intensity around this time of year, and then goes on for three months.

Man I hate how people only start to love one another during this time o the year.
Why doesn't everyone love one another always during the year as we all really should?
Also one thing I can't stand is how CRAZY people start driving and behaving I feel even safer inside a giant bomb of of refinery around safety first intelligent people!
How crazy is that? I feel safer in a safety minded place refinery instead of all the crazy people outside there!
Lol!
People become so reckless during Christmas time so sad
Oh the irony

I notice it's the same when it comes to disasters or tragic events. People seem to rally and help, and are really nice to each other. C'mon folks, let's have that kind of attitude all the time.
