Exactly right. There was a brief period where I was very "anti religious" and felt bitterness about all the commercialism and hypocrisy around the holidays.
But I'm a little older and a little wiser now, I think, and I look forward to the holiday season for the positive influence it has on people, and on me, and I ignore the negatives.
