The basic point was that all holidays are made up. To suggest that xmass is less of a cash grab consumer fest than valentine's day is insane.
You dont see valentine's day advertised in January, around here xmass starts the day after Halloween.
I don't think Christmas is less of a cash grab per se, just that there's at least some spirit under it, while (modern) VDay seems to be pretty purely consumerist
