For most kids, yes, Christmas is about getting gifts. And it's tremendously fun. But, c'mon, that "greedy" attitude doesn't last. I'm sure that all of us here would say the biggest joy of Christmas is giving gifts to friends and family. Many people also take more time to help the less fortunate at this time of year. If you think the holiday is too commercial, well, your family can decide to buy smaller gifts.
It might be unfair to say, but you're coming across as a bit of a stick-in-the-mud. You're focusing on the worst possible interpretation of the holiday.
