Initially I thought this was just clickbait crap but I shifted my cynicism a bit and saw hate, bad, worst in headlines with the word Christmas attached. In defense sometimes headlines include “or best” but in general leans negative. I think this time period should be positive and hopeful. Kick back with Dean Martin's rendition of ‘Let it Snow’ and just decompress.
There used to be a lots of songs written about the seasons, weather and being outdoors but not so much any more. Maybe because we are inside so much.
But I do agree with you. Lots of attempt to stir up contempt for Christmas or any celebration which includes families getting together. I don't think all of it is deliberate. I think people just forget that families are made up of people who are occasionally annoying and exasperating but overall worth the time and effort we put into them and we get a lot more then we give.
Interesting observation and thoughts. People just trying their hardest to make Christmas be a bad thing. They already tied Trump’s victory to having a lousy Thanksgiving, so I’m sure there will be articles about Christmas soon too.
