TEXT OF COMIC:

Sure, Christmas is overly commercialized. But what bothers me a lot more is how full of social obligations it is.

Getting together for parties and exchanging gifts can be a beautiful expression of the Christmas spirit-- but not if you're just doing it because you're forced into it by stupid social rules.

And yet if people only gave gifts when they truly felt like it, some people would get a lot more gifts than others.

I think Christmas is the celebration of human complexity.
