I'm trying not to laugh at your rant but you are so very correct. I hate anything by the Carpenters, and the cornball holiday songs that someone thinks is clever, and continues to use them to infect the airwaves. Alvin & the Chipmunks? Not even for children.
But on a serious note I think it is sad that the real meaning of Christmas is nearly forgotten. I don't think it's smart to go into debt in order to give presents out of obligation or guilt, etc. Offerings of love can be given any time of year. There's nothing worse than receiving a gift with an obvious lack of thought behind it. Yes, that sounds mean but I'm just being honest.
