Here Come The Businessmen

It's the Christmas season once again. Here come the businessmen! Apparently, people forget what Christmas is about. Some use the Christmas season as an opportunity to do business. It's sad, but true. Everywhere you look, establishments like department stores commercialize Christmas and promote consumerism and materialism. Businessmen work double time during Christmas to sell unimportant things to people. People in return get suckered into buying things that they don't need. They get suckered to buy things for other people even if they are not obliged.

People may argue that Christmas is a time for sharing and giving gifts so that's why they do these things. What they don't understand is that Christmas is not just about giving gifts, or charity work. What they don't understand is that Christmas has become too commercialized that its meaning has been forgotten.

What is CHRISTMAS really? Is it really Jesus' birth? Or is it just an invention to promote materialism? Do your research and then you decide. Are we really required to give gifts on Christmas day? Should we continue making these opportunists rich? The answer is up to us.
