Christmas commercials........ Hate them or love them

i'm one of those that feel xmas and thanksgiving are holidays meant for celebrating their true meaning, and it ain't insane gift giving and credit card overrun!??????
its great if family can get together and make memories. great food is wonderful. commercials suck. black fri should be banned!! LOL
I don't give grandkids gifts. they get way too many from all other relatives. its insane. totally nuts!!!!
when I was a kid back in south ga. , my mother had all the family over, like 25-30 people. we drew names to give gifts. she cooked enough wonderful food to feed any army (confederate!).... so my family bought a gift for say Uncle Walter. then my family had our own present thing Xmas day. a couple new shirts and a pellet gun, that was it and it was wonderful ( except the clothes!)< LOL
life was simple then, and pretty dainged good!!!!
