When did it becomes the official and ubiquitous representation of the Christmas season? Calendars, wall hangings snow globes, ornaments, and any other type of decoration that you can imagine - they all feature it.
It did seem to take over the Christmas season this year as far as decor. I have no idea why but I agree with Wabigoon. I kinda like it too
It is not magical, dream like and unattainable. It portrays something that is alot more realistic and believable.
