I do a lot of Internet reading. I can't help it. I have interesting friends who write/find interesting things. In our attempt to be worldly, we depend on the Internet.
Anyway (read: moving on), today I came across a very interesting piece via Twitter from the fine and funny folks over at Popehat.
The article in question talks about the War on Christmas; you know, the Secular VS Religion battle of wills that happens every year. This article addresses the third contender: Commercialism. Ah yes, thanks to the Charlie Brown Christmas Special, we all know the dangers of commericalism at Christmas and what a secular evil it is. But commercialism and secular Christmas are not synonymous. Or perhaps it's bets to say that Religious Christmas (for lack of a better term) and commercialism are not mutually exclusive. The article, Jesus May Be the Reason for the Season. However, Jesus is Not the Reason You Are Shopping At Dick's, is well worth a read.
Feel free to visit www.popehat.com or follow them on Twitter @popehat.
Cheers. Jehy
