The last few years, it seems to me people what to bother less and less with Christmas. Fewer and earlier & earlier parties (some even the week after Thanksgiving).
I remember as a child, EVERYONE had elaborate outdoor decorations and we'd get in the car on Christmas eve and tour the town to see them. Now not as many and much simpler (at least around here).
Since gift bags hit the scene, instead of wrapping a gift with paper, ribbons and bows, we now stick a gift in one. Artificial Christmas tress come already decorated.
It's like - let's have instant Christmas, then get back to BAU.
