most wonderful time of the year?

it's Christmas eve but i'm not excited.
i feel really sad....that it seems like Christmas is all about Santa (u re-arrange and it equals Satan) and presents. and people don't seem happy at Christmas time either. they are rushing to buy presents, they get irritated and angry, they cringe as the credit card gets swiped through...
it's all about everyone for themselves, maybe some love for those around...
but it's not about what this day is supposed to be - the birth of Jesus Christ. the one who came to die for our sins.
it's really sad to think that children these days know who Santa is but ask them about Jesus and most will have no idea.
parents even rally against teaching Christian education in public schools. and even some private schools too!
most private schools are Christian schools but Christian education classes become an option in year 11 and 12.

sometimes it all feels too much....why would anyone want to live forever in this broken world?!
