It is big here in the sense of commercialisation. If you have children here, peer pressure results in people getting in to debt in order to provide for their little darlings. This can lead to depression and in extreme cases - suicides (pretty negative).
If you have not got kids then the hype from September to December 24th gets on your t!ts as all it is really is a few days of work.
My general impression of the BMs here is that they can usually see ''the bigger picture'', they have seen a lot of life and are not easily fooled. So if they appear negative about a 2 day overhyped holiday, celebrating the birth of a fictional character on a day when he wasn't born, now you know why
