Why we should not have Christmas, it should be banned!

Most people love Christmas, you do, I do, we all do. Have you ever though about the down sides of Christmas?

Money, Money, Money, Christmas = Money. We spend money on presents for friends and family, in fact, on one day last year, Kiwi's spent $255 million dollars on presents. We also spend money on decorations, for the Christmas tree and the house. Decorations can sometimes cost a little bit to get. Not only that but we set up lights for Christmas, lots of lights, lots and lots of lights. There is nothing wrong with that, it's all fun looking at them, but have you thought about how much money it would cost to run all those lights, that's a LOT of power.

Then there is food at Christmas time we eat TONS of food, probably not as much as the Americans, but we still eat more than normal, and what does food cost? Money... If we add up all these things, that is a lot of money.

When we get presents, we feel happy and excited, but some presents we will play with for 5 or 10 minutes and then we will toss them aside and forget about them. Also kids get selfish and spoilt by all the presents that they get. Then when they don't get something they want, or it's not good enough, they can sometimes get disappointed when they find what they got This creates problems for parents and for the people that gave the gift because some people cannot afford big sparkly new bikes.

We shouldn't have Christmas, it should be banned. Nobody thinks about the real meaning of Christmas anymore, just whether their presents will be good or not, therefore taking away from the true meaning of Christmas.
