"Liz the Squeak and Sandra in Sydney: I don't think that making Christmas decorations/crafts counts as commercialism. Quite the opposite -- it's anti-commercialism! You go, girls; keep up the good work.
Same goes for Rapaire (except for the "girl" part?) -- Christmas-season charity doesn't count as commercialism."

Ditto that thought SharonA! Homemade and authentic Christmas, which genuinely echoes the spirit of the season, is what it's all about.
