Doesn't this just say it all?

Christmas has lost its meaning to many people. It's now just an excuse to go into debt to buy gifts that people don't really need. Christmas decorations are up at the malls the day after Thanksgiving for crying out loud! I mean, I understand that stores want to make a profit at Christmas time, but it's at the point where it's ridiculous. Here's a political cartoon I found at cagle.com that I think sums it all up.

The most important thing about Christmas isn't the lights or the food or the presents. It's the birth of Jesus, the Son sent from Heaven to redeem us. What went wrong?
