A Reason for the Season

(seen in this post at the dimly lit room, emphasis mine)

To point the finger at marketers and corporations is a cop-out. It’s too easy. Christmas is commercialized. To that, I say "who cares?" If you don’t like all of the commercialization, don’t participate in it. Don’t buy excessive gifts for people. Tell your friends and family that you took the money for their gifts and fed some people that were hungry. Give your winter coat to a teenage girl that spends each night shivering cold on the street. Invite those with no homes into your home for turkey dinner on Christmas day. If you truly care about the meaning of Christmas, do something about it.

Then, perhaps, one can complain about a commercial Christmas. But until then, it is probably best to keep quiet.
