Christmas generally means one of two things to people: Jesus Christ; or capitalism, meaning the gifts and material or secular celebrations.
In today’s culture, Christmas is more important than ever before. Businesses practically close down for the entire month. (Have you tried getting business done with a bank, an insurance company, or just about anything other than a retail store during Thanksgiving to Christmas? Or tried to find a job? Or get even minimal service from a government agency?) Black Friday shopping sprees now top summer vacation and almost eclipse Christmas itself.
Yes, Christmas is all about either Jesus or capitalism. Yet these are two things disparaged by cultural and corporate elites (all leftist, now even Communist) who rule over us. Interesting. Why do they approve of Christmas when it’s made possible by the two things they loathe the most: capitalism and Jesus?
