I know exactly zero people who celebrate Xmas substantially in a religious manner.  Everybody, the entirety of people that I know on a regular basis, makes the exchange of presents the entire focus of the holiday.  I live in a predominately Catholic area, too, so you would think at least one person would mention midnight mass at some point.  Nope.  Not one.

the part about valentines day that REALLY gets me?

It's February and they push buying flowers on you...in a time of the year when flowers don't normally grow...and make you pay "hothouse"prices for them.

seriously? $40 for a dozen roses where during the summer you can get them for $9?  :soapbox:

We don't really celebrate the day but I got her two chairs she was really wanting for the breeze room.  I then got to sit in one and enjoy her payback show.

I come from the midwest where the majority of folks I know celebrate the holiday as a religious one.  Most families I knew growing up read the gospel aloud on Christmas night or morning.  Most folks my age just starting families have continued that tradition and the churches are packed on Christmas eve.  I'm not that religious myself but I have found my experience to be vastly different than yours.   I lived in a predominately protestant area and now that I've moved south I certainly do.  Most Army folks tend to be a bit more traditional tho so that may account for some of it.
