If we abandon Christmas then we must abandon Government, Education, Fast Food, birthdays, etc, etc, etc... Since, all of these ideas have become extreme at one time or another. In some fashion each of these models/traditions have been taken to the extreme. So there you go bored "writer", I gave you (4) more hot abandon topics you can use for an article....

Abandoning public education, fast food and birthdays is okay with me. Question: if these activities are not extreme now, how did that come about? Maybe if you post how that worked, we can apply it to Christmas and the abandoning can be avoided. Isn't Christmas voluntary any way? Government and education are not.

Here is the "Black Friday" question of the day from Martin Lewis at the Telegraph: Is it time to ban Christmas presents?

Is it time to ban Christmas presents? Across the country people are growling at the enforced obligation to waste money on that they can't afford, for people who won't use it. Festive gift-giving has lost its point, risks doing more harm than good, misteaches our children about values and kills the joy of anticipation...
