In my experience, Christmas becomes for you what you focus on.
If you focus on the commercialism, then yeah, you'll become jaded/greedy/whatever.
For myself, we celebrate Advent and focus on the true meaning of Christmas in the Christian tradition; the coming of hope to a world without.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." – C.
