HAVE WE LOST THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS?

BY ALFONSO GCÍA. #BTO1D
Many people today firmly believe that we haven’t lost the true meaning of Christmas, while others hold on opposing view, starting that children only think about their gifts. So who is right? Christmas starting earlier every year, children only thinking about their gifts and Christmas from a religious point of view are all important factors to bear in mind before drawing a conclusion on this rather controversial topic.

Firstly, let’s look at Christmas starting earlier every year, which is true. Christmas is a good business for shopping centers, because the purchase level increases a lot at Christmas. People can´t stop buying unnecessary things at Christmas. However, financial gain is the main reason for Christmas starting earlier every year.

Before making up our minds, we should also consider the fact that children only think about their gifts. Some parents get used to children having a lot of presents at Christmas. This is another problem with Christmas. People associate Christmas with gifts. This is the worst side of Christmas.

Our final point of contention is raised by a supposed true meaning of Christmas. I think, Christmas is a celebration to be with your family and have a good time.
