Isn't christmas itself tacky and commercial?
Don' t get me wrong, I love christmas, but:-
Sending cards to people you don't see or hear from for 12 months
Dressing the outside of your house with 1000's of fairy lights, and santas on sleighs etc etc that most people would cringe at at any other time
How many people know the true meaning ( NO i am not a god botherer)
Spending money on food and drink like its the last day on earth!!
Pre-ordering the latest gadget ( Wii for 2006)
etc
etc
I do all of the above, cos thats what you do, and I love doing it, but we are all victims of cheap and tacky festive commerciality
