Can you imagine what Christmas would be like if the WTBTS ran it? Instead of a traditional x-mas tree you'd have a bush or palm tree so as not to have any connection to pagan origins. Also, you'd have a beardless Santa so as not to stumble the brothers and he'd be skinny because fat would be condoning gluttony. Can you think of anything else?
What if the Society ran Christmas?

Oh,
You would have to go out in service before opening your gifts... and that's after lunch and a 1 hour prayer.
You would be required to pray for long periods of time, rendering all food cold and terrible, all in the name of pleasing the "sovergn lord Jehovah" (tm).

No, sorry, no gifts allowed! Gifts are considered materialistic because it diverts needed funds away from "theocratic" interests to "worldly ways".

It would be utterly boring and a miserable get together of dull and non-imaginative brain-washed sardines-heads.
Sorry, I am cranky, lol, I'll go shut up now
