Christians: do you wish the whole santa and gift giving thing was not the same day you celebrate Christ's birth?

Asked by JLeslie (65446points) December 7th, 2011

Same with Easter, would you prefer the bunny was not on the holiest day of the Christian calendar?

I don’t mean get rid of those fun things, I only mean a different day. Maybe Santa is on the 12the day of Christmas, or gifts are exchanged on New Years instead. Maybe celebrate Spring, bunnies, and chocolate a week after Easter?

I just wondered if you feel the commercial side of Christmas takes away from the religious message.

I realize some countries do celebrate with gifts on the Day of the Epiphany, and on New Years.
