It's a load of commercial bollocks designed, by retailersTo put the average man in the street in debt in order to fit a profile.
Why should you feel obliged to spend time with people you would ordinarily want to spend time with? Why are you suddenly forced to spend time with people you don't want to spend time with? Why are we forced to listen to tales of sickness and suffering and then told to feel grateful for where we are in life.
Those who are suffering suffer all year round. Those who can't afford - what is deemed a 'proper' Christmas are made to feel like shit based on the consumer culture and those people you hold dearest know you love them by the time you spend with them.
The same applies for Mothers/Father/Valentines day. I love my parents, and I spend more than enough time with them to tell them. Likewise, when I'm in a relationship, if the going is good, you'll think everyday is valentines day. Why should I feel obliged to spent three-billion quid on some shit flowers?
(Sorry, you get me ranty in a minute!)
