Christmas episode and christmas in general.

It was a really good episode since most people who care about it are mostly kids or fundamentalist christians who think god will be happy with them if they pray before dinner and going to church once a year (okay, the last part was for those who only go on Easter and Christmas..SHAME on you!) or rich people.

Loved the part on how it does screw the economy with giving people crap they don't want.

I was just very amazed he didn't have a way of explaining people having a bunch of annoying lights all over their house for a month and then taking them down in a tangled mess (unless you've got money to throw away everything at once, most people find decorating a tree an annoyance if you re-use lights/bulbs/whatnots).

Or how about cutting down tons of trees people only care about for a week or two and then set outside next to all the gift wrapped trash bags full of paper. That's not even mentioning the deaths due to cats knocking them over and setting fires due to dry trees being a great way to make sure a house fire burns well.

I'm sure I could google it, but I bet more than a few families hate Christmas because someone fell off a roof trying to put up decorations and died.

I find it amazing that in this day and age, people give their 8 year old kids $400 iphones and Xbox's, and it's even funnier when they don't get iphone 9.28742 but get the 8 version and cry about it. What the hell happened to people? I remember getting some plastic toys and was ecstatic to unwrap them. Now I see kids opening brand new Xbox Ones and instead of being happy they look at their parents and ask why they didn't pay another $100 to get a bigger harddrive or more games. It. Is. So. Dumb.

You can bahumbug me all you want, but just like halloween, easter, thanksgiving, it's more about people making money than it is about anything important.

I can't wait to see all the hate responses I get from my logical point of view though.
