Not really. I've been beaten over the head about Christmas as far back as September this year. So, by the time I reach the actual day of Christmas, it's like "...so what?". It's like Capitalism's favorite holiday now, along with Black Friday and Cyber Monday. I can't get that cheery or festive for a day that has been hijacked to maximize profits, especially if people are nagged about it for months on end until it's the day.
