Look, I'm not saying you're entirely wrong. [ As much as she's loathed to admit it. ] There are plenty of people and places that take it too far or make it way over the top, and it can get pretty chaotic.
But like I said, sometimes people like giving their own meaning to it, and taking the old traditions that were set up and finding something for themselves in them. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
Besides, if you're complaining about all this when it's only once a year, what would you even do if people did celebrate like this all the time? You'd really think it'd be any better with all the parties and fuss, all the gifts and people taking time off to celebrate whenever they want throughout the entire year?
