Is the Christmas spirit dead

i don't think so Christmas about family

Answer #2: Not at all, Christmas is celebrated now more than ever.

Traditionally, Christmas was not the biggest holiday of the Christian calender, that was Easter.

What we call "Christmas Spirit" developed from the tradition of giving gifts, which includes Boxing Day, the day after Christmas, when gifts were given to the poor.

Was this spirit stronger in the past?

Christmas was more about Jesus Christ in the past.

Look at how carols have changed from "God rest ye merry, Gentlemen" to "Baby it's cold outside".

Now it's more commercial.

The modern Christmas didn't replace the old one, it just piled up on top of it.
