Have you read the article? The whole point of the article is to deride Christmas and to show that some people are actually celebrating this absurdity and Sarkin points out that one of the reasons may be that people are simply fed up with Christmas. I don't believe those people ever actually knew Christmas. Very sad for them.
No is isn't. The article is tongue in cheek, just like the Seinfeld episode, just like Festivus itself. It's a joke.
It's almost as funny to watch you guys getting whipped up in your misdirected righteous indignation, as it is watching the show.
95% of the stuff that has accreted around the celebration of the Lord’s birth is absurd and begs to be made fun of.
