Is Time Burton not a fan of the "new" Christmas? (Sorry, Xmas)

What do Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands and The Nightmare Before Christmas have in common? Christmas of course! Correction, that would be Xmas (or whatever Tim Burton wishes to call it). Is he just obsessed with getting presents? Maybe he enjoys cookies and milk... or maybe he just thinks Americans are missing the point of it.I have noticed the references to Christianity in Edward Scissorhands, such as the piercing of hands. Mr. Burton is definitely trying to tell us something.

In both movies, Time Burton shows the towns preparing for Christmas as if it is a commercial holiday, only meant for parties and getting presents. In The Nightmare Before Christmas the Halloween characters even change Christmas like it is nothing. Jack Skellington manages to recreate the holiday with a ghoulish twist, kidnaps Santa, gets the whole Halloween cast involved, and still fails miserably. Burton is trying to send a message to Americans with these films.

Nowadays, we see Christmas as a time in which the ground is white, we gather for parties and then receive presents on the 25th of December. Tim Burton points out how we have forgotten that the real meaning of Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, our savior. Although the country may not share the same religion, the true meaning of Christmas has been tainted with media influence and has been lost as generations  age. Burton is telling audience that it is not too late to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas, we just need to change how we do celebrate now.
