News coverage of holiday shopping

October 23, 2008

The mainstream media just don’t get it. The joy of Christmas isn’t about buying and consuming things. Even if you grant the premise that retail sales should be the object, they still don’t get it. They didn’t get it last year. They don’t get it this year. Maybe they will get it next year? See http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/tom-blumer/2007/12/26/tis-season-post-christmas-bias-new-york-times

There’s always time!
There are 3 months and 19 days until Christmas -- there's always enough time to prepare for a more meaningful, less materialistic Christmas!

Just use the word "Excessmas" for the secular celebration that takes place in December and "Nativity" for the celebration of Jesus Christ's birth. Your office party is probably an "Excessmas" party but you go to a "Nativity" candlelight service at a church on Christmas Eve.

Well, not the Oxford English Dictionary, but check this out from Addictionary : DEFINITION:(noun) The act, in a material sense, of overdoing the Christmas Holiday. Excessive spending in hopes of getting that "special holiday feeling". Too much decoration. Too many disposible gifts. Alternate use: too much celebration with food and/or adult beverages.
