"The attractive aspect of Christmas is the fact that the good wishes expressed in a cheerful, happy and benign, with no expression of sacrifice. One says:" Merry Christmas "instead of" Llora and repent. "And the expressions of the predictions are given in a material, earthly through gifts to friends, or sending them cards in token of remembrance and affection.
The best thing about Christmas is the issue openly condemned by the mystics: the fact that Christmas has been commercialized. -bought gifts stimulate an enormous outpouring of ingenuity in the creation of these products, assigned to a single purpose: to give pleasure to men. The street decorations erected by the department stores and other institutions, Christmas trees, twinkling lights, bright colors, provide the city with a spectacular display, which only "commercial greed 'could afford to give. One would have to be terribly depressed to resist the joy of this wonderful show. "
Ayn Rand, December 1976.
I hope you all spend a happy Christmas pagan and commercial. Salud!
