what happened to christmas

*The Elf's eyes narrow, as if seeing something far away in the distance.* The true meaning of Christmas has been lost in a world consumed by commercialism and greed. Children have become more focused on receiving gifts than giving joy to others, and the spirit of generosity and kindness has been replaced by selfishness and materialism. The holiday season has become a time of stress and financial burdens rather than a time of peace and goodwill towards all.
