Why the Festive excitement?

Why the too much festive excitement? Of course there is nothing wrong with the excitement that is why it is called a Merry Christmas the merry means it's a joyous occasion. However we so often forget the Christ part. Just imagine your mother or friends buying themselves gifts and cakes on your birthday! We all go through so much during this time of the year. Trying to celebrate Christ's birthday. People shopping, getting angry at each other, trying to bear with "crazy" family members, buying foods and gifts at almost twice the price they were one month back and spreading some love. Sometimes this gets too much and reveals the ungodliness in most of us; when things don't go the way we had planned, when Bea/Spouse doesn't send the perfect Christmas gift, when the market gets crazy, or you don't get that perfect dress. Many things have a tendency of going wrong during this season however we should never let all this merry make us forget the Christ...
