1. Is christmas just a money making scam? If it is, it sure didn't start out that way. Christmas has been around for thousands of years, since before Jesus (yes, before Jesus).
2. Should only religious people celebrate christmas? Of course not. Christmas can be for everyone.
3. Should parents lie to their children regarding Santa? No. Lying is inexcusable. Be honest with your kids and tell them you're playing "The Santa Game." This allows them to have the fun of Santa, while still knowing it's really just a game and that Santa doesn't exist.
4. Is christmas too comercial? I don't think so. Personally I think it's the consumers who have made the stores obsess over it. It makes sense that at Christmas there's a higher demand, so we can't blame the stores for meeting that demand.
5. Has the true meaning of Christmas gone? Yes! Most people don't even know that the true meaning is to celebrate the shortest day of the year (or what was thought to be at the time, at least). Now everyone thinks it's to celebrate Jesus' birthday, which was actually on September 29th!
