The humankind had made winter celebrations since former times. Christmas celebrations had old roots in ancient times when humans celebrate winter solstice. Afterwards was been given a religious meaning. All the cultures and civilizations have big celebrations and Christmas is perhaps the biggest one. Taking into account this old meaning Christmas is the celebration of the new life, of the complete change, because after the winter, the cold, and death, will arrive the spring, the warm, the new life. In my opinion that meaning of Christmas has sense whether or not you have religious believe.
I think that we all would need to break something with the past, to change in individual and collective sense and Christmas is the annual period when we have new wishes, good feelings, and new hopes.
Another think is that Christmas celebration has degenerated in a shopping holidays, the biggest feast of the consumer society: shopping, shopping and more shopping....and that are dreadful.
What do you think?

Nice and appropriate to the time!
I always have the same feeling and this is one of the reasons I go away! I hate this consumer society!
Anyway... Enjoy the Holidays as you may!
Do not despair! Your English is very understandable but you have made many mistakes this time.

Hi everybody! С новым годом и Рождеством!
That means Happy New Year and Happy Christmas, yes, Christmas after New Year. In Russia, because of orthodox religion, Christmas day is on January 6th. Hey, that's another clue about my identity!!!. Il Kommentatore knows something about Russian (or knows someone who knows something about Russian).
I’ve been really busy during these last days and I've been disconnected from the blog activity so I haven't had the opportunity to wish you the best for the New Year. That's all by now.
Желаю вам счастья (I wish you happiness).
Happy New Year!
We are all worried about the different messages Xmas has conveyed along the years. Time for a cultural revolution! Don't you think?
I was taking a tour around the blogs and have seen that people have been even lazier than me. Shouldn't we do something about it?
