The commercialization of Christmas does suck ass. Addressed perfectly in Charlie Brown Christmas. We always went and cut down our Christmas tree too. Priceless.

Completely agree,  my friend. I miss my grandparents so much. They provided my sister and I  with so many wonderful Christmas memories. We spent so much time at their house growing up.  If I could go by in time, I wouldn't hesitate.  Eddie Money said it so well. Ah... but we can't go back. 

I'm with you my buddy. I think our generation was the best time to be growing up in this country. Great families and no Internet or 1000 channels on TV. Wasn't without problems or issues, but overall was so awesome and wouldn't trade a minute of it for all the money in the world.
