Consider all the positive that could come from the millions of work hours currently allocated to satiating your children's greed glands. If everyone contributed to some truly awe-inspiring global goal instead of going to the mall to buy a pair of sneakers with lights in them.

Dude, you're problem here isn't specifically with Christmas, but with the disgusting waste of human material that is capitalism.
My personal take is that mainstream Christmas is pointless. I don't do presents, I don't really do family, and I'm certainly no monotheist, I use it for a few days of peace and reflection on the past year. Which to me, is what it was meant to be about.
