Do you think it's ironic?

We have been here lately discussing Christmas and how we feel about it-Loved GW's dissertation-I was just over on the Christmas Y!A section and was so appalled I had to leave. A 14 yo wondering if a $40 gift was enough for her bf. People spending $25-$50 on "gag" gifts for work gift exchanges. And everyone wonders why we "olders" are disenchanted with the holiday.
