Today, advertisements talk about the joy of the Holiday Season, but they don't tell the reason for the joy. When Christmas is taken out of the ads, so is the reason for the joy. There is no true joy in the Holiday Season without Christmas. The message of Christmas is joy to all people. The message of a generic Holiday Season robs us of the joy that only Christmas can bring.
