I agree with DANIaka007-at-aol.com

If I could draw a slightly musical analogy;

If I was to be invited to a birthday celebration in my honour by a
whole bunch of my friends and then they started to sing "Happy
birthday to X, happy birthday to X, happy birthday to we can't be
bothered to say your name, happy birthday to X", and then they
carried on giving each other presents, getting very drunk and eating
too much, I don't believe I would stay there very long.

I am not a 'religious' man, and I am not trying to point fingers. I
simply believe that the 'X' thing has been used so much that people
now adopt it quite innocently without realising that each time it is
used, they are taking another little step closer to the complete
commercialism of Christmas.

Here's wishing everyone a very merry Christmas.
