I think the problem was that things are way too over-the-top.
When I was a kid, Christmas seemed so easy. I just had to make my parents some popsicle-stick tree ornaments or something similar.
Last year, I noted that several girls in my class exchanged Christmas gifts of huge handbags and other such things.
Seems like there's a bit of room to cut out the excess.
Maybe instead of an anti-Christmas campaign, there should be a movement to get people to exchange handmade picture frames or ornaments. Probably be used just as much as the designer purses and they're a whole lot cheaper (and made with love).
Or cookies! Then at least you know they'll be used for something.
