I think that when Christmas was young, it was a simpler time. People had a more innocent and pure view of the holiday, focusing on family, friends, and the joy of giving. People also had more time to celebrate and enjoy the festivities. There was less emphasis on commercialism and materialism, and more on the simple pleasures of spending time with loved ones and appreciating the little things in life. It was a time of simplicity, kindness, and hope.
