By worrying about the retailing of Christmas are we secularizing our own religion? When did we let a tree and shopping define Christmas? When we have to go into the world to find Christ we are lost.

Rock solid statements and questions. I applaud your attitude.

Real Christians never did, however this is not about what you and I do individually but what as a community of Christians we expect. It is a mockery of the season - we dont celebrate because its the 25th day of December, we dont turn the tree into an idol, presents are not the reason - Christ is. Slippery slope, slippery slope.
