Victoria (USA: MT) (2008/11/23): how many of us think this thought at least once or twice every single year? and yet end up getting caught up in all the foofuraw, consumerism, materialism, stress, debt, waste, and the participation of the murder of innocent trees all in the so-called name of God or Jesus? who it has been proven was not born on december 25th anyway. dec. 25th in the winter solstice, which is something to celebrate in its own right. hmmm, what a tangled web we weave for ourselves, insanity, chaos, all for what? to keep out economy going? what would happen if everyone in this country truly decided to skip christmas altogether? it would be very interesting wouldn't it?
