That’s the point. Santa and the rest becomes downright evil. It did for me.

That is exactly her point. Her earlier understanding of Christmas was replaced by another.

Read the whole article. It is quite uplifting and you will understand what she means by “ruin Christmas.” You will enjoy reading it.

Did you read it?

“Ironically, after all of this, Christmas lost its luster for me. The rank materialism became too much to bear...”

She then concludes that “Christmas is a day ... to ponder the mystery and the wonder of a birth like no other.”

Didn't read the article, then? Her materialistic idea of what Christmas meant prior to conversion was what was "ruined".
