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

But don't you still look forward to opening all your presents on christmas morning, going round the families for games and roast turkey, stuffing and roast potatoes, pulling christmas crackers and getting a little surprise present, popping round friends for a xmas drink and then going to a party in the evening. If thats not worth looking forward to and getting excited then its all round mine for this christmas to get that christmas cheer back into your lives, as you can tell I love it and am more excited by it now than when I was a kid or maybe I am still a kid?
