The sentiment does tend to make me grumpy around this time of year just because it seems like it's pushed everywhere.
It is, thank God, not quite so bad over here, where the sentiment is still tied more closely to traditional, liturgically-defined ways of celebrating. Without the traditions, I'd drop Christmas altogether. Christmas songs - as opposed to carols - make me want to throw things at the radio.
