10. It’s a plague from Western consumers

9. It’s a Christian holiday

8. Most of the world are NOT Christian

7. People who do Christmas shop too much

6. Setting decorations becomes a waste of money, time and space in the landfill afterwards

5. Setting Christmas lights is a waste of electricity.

4. All the plastics bought contribute to more air, water and ground pollution.

3. More unnecessary traffic leading up to the Christmas holidays contribute to more congestion in the cities, noise, air, water pollution.


2. A tree cut down is another tree that didn’t make it to a hundred, a plastic tree contributes to air, water pollution.

and most importantly …


1. Most of the things consumed are from countries that pay so little to the worker that they have no health/dental care.

THINK about the people who made what you just bought. Do you really need it?

It's another reason to shower the ones you love with presents and to show them your gratitude. Though the decorating would be a little over but it is a time for families to get together to do things and its not that families spend a lot of time together nowadays anyway.

still no reason
communication is the point. lack of communication. there are plenty of times of the year to get together it DOES NOT have to be a christian holiday. let's get neutral.

Seems like 9 and 8 are the same reason.
Cheater. haha.

You know, I'm not a fan of SUPER CONSUMERISM!! OMG!#$%#$ myself, but at its core, Christmas is about loving people. I don't see what's wrong with that.
