From being a joyful and peaceful season, Christmas has become a time of stress and harassment where people are forced to endure nightmarish traffic and go through a ritual of frenzied shopping to keep up with its spirit.
But if it has become so, this can only be the fault of the people who have given up the spirit of Christmas for materialism and crass commercialism.
With a view to making the Christmas season more relaxed and less stressful maybe it would be a good idea to have two kinds of Christmas celebrated on two different dates or period.
The first Christmas will be the "commercial" Christmas celebrated on the first of December with parties, gift giving and all out materialism for those inclined to do so. People celebrating this Christmas can hold parties starting November but should not go beyond December 1.
The other Christmas is the original or the "spiritual" Christmas celebrated with family and intimate friends.
Some people may find this idea odd but those who believe in Christmas should try to get its true spirit back.
