Has Christmas lost its religious meaning?

I think Christmas has lost its religious meaning. Christmas is meant to be a time where family’s get together and share their love together, where children act out the nativity play and people go to a christingles to remember the whole meaning of Christmas. Instead there are some people who think it’s a time to go to parties and get drunk. It’s generally a time where people get into debt because they buy lots of presents for their family and friends. Lots of divorces happen after the Christmas period because of a lot of family tension in there home with all the stress of Christmas.

Some people think that Christmas is still as religious as it was 50+ years ago. They say this because children still act out nativity plays every Christmas and attend christingles on Christmas Eve. Families still get together and celebrate Christmas. Generally more around the Christmas period people are more generous towards others. People fell sorry for homeless people on cold winter nights all alone so they give money to charities and help in fund raising to raise money so maybe a few not a fortunate people can have a happy Christmas.
