Well, one reason so many are 'turned off' by Christmas is the over-the-top commercialism these days!!! The stores have Xmas stuff out at Halloween and it's all about buy, buy, buy.

Personally, we don't celebrate the religious (Christian) aspect of the holiday, but we do exchange gifts with the tree and, of course, the mistletoe . But Yule, the old-time one Christmas is based on, is what we celebrate and it has a much deeper significance than which piece of plastic to buy the kids this year!
