   @Omnius:
   You act like you want to see our now top poster dead. But let me tell you, Levy has the most important job of all- it’s always insuring he has more comments on the board than the rest of us put together. What could be more important than that?

   We should officially change the name of the holiday to “X-mas”.
   The “X” is for wretched eXcess, eXcessive greed, eXcessive materialism, eXtra large debt….

   The name of “Christmas” is in remembrance of the birth
   of Christ.

    In my part of the world this year doesn’t look like too big of a materialistic deal as Christmas goes. My theory is that we bought the devices and people have messed around with them instead of relating to the outside world. We have bought the consuls and so on and now we are waiting for more On demand and the next wave. I want the flat screen robots that will talk to you with the right body language and tell you how to go about your day amongst several other things like On-demand video games and more on-demand content that is more stable. Really I want a normal non psychopath’s version of my brain in the cloud living an ultimate scenario. So as of this year aside from redoing a small house in a minimalist way to allow for lots of on-demand content, digital screens showing different images and a more structure/balance life of what I can value plus marriage there really isn’t a whole lot I want for Christmas. I can work on playlists and music, play old games watch Louie/Friday night lights, read Carl Barks/Segar and work on getting more posts than Levy. Unless I’m going to get a female dog for my current yellow lab if I can’t have what I really want in life and don’t feel like I can fully work on gaining it due to my mother then I’m really where I need to be. Maybe one of those cameras that can focus on everything in the picture if they really exist and the technology isn’t only attacted to the most expensive models. I think other people are pretty much on my wave length. Underprivileged kids really want the video games and other technologies though.

    “Remembrance” is an artfully chosen term. Good thing you didn’t make the common mistake of suggesting that shepherds were actually watching their flocks by night on Dec. 25. Jesus (if he existed at all) was probably born during lambing season, in the spring. Dec. 25 was actually a very popular holiday during the Roman era, mainly because of the drunken blowouts they’d have in honor of Sol Invictus, the unconquered sun, at solstice time. The Christians just piggy-backed on top of it.

    Actually, in THIS case the “X” is actually the Greek letter ‘chi,’ the first letter in the Greek spelling of ‘Christos’

    Sorry to puncture your ‘ire’ bubble, but SOMETIMES a bit of ‘Classical’ education DOES comes in handy.

    Really! Christmas buying is the lifeblood of businesses all over the world. Even the Magi gave their most expensive gifts of gold, frankincense and myhr (sp?)….everyone wants to show the people they love how much they’re appreciated at Christmas. There’s nothing wrong with gifting; the trick is to ensure that everyone has the same option and that no gift is looked upon with $$$ as the most important indicator of value.
