I no longer Christmas gifts in protest to the rank materialism.

Christmas has become simultaneously more and less religious. Less due to materialism, secularization of it, and more because it is or can be a touchy thing to discuss or mention. Actually, I am still surprised where I live now because it is a largely homogenous population and people actually say Merry Christmas; I hadn't heard that in the general public in years before this.
