the mall blog
well continuing with my tradition of blogging in interesting locations... i am currently in the middle of the last minute consumerfest that is the local westfeild mall the thursday before Christmas... (i am on a husband saving business called everywhere internet)all arround me money is changing hands people are over spending and not much more... not i know to have a rant about the consumerism of Christmas is soooo like "95" but well it hasnt changed much...
although i did enjoy this piece i read today which calls into question if Christmas has realy EVER been a Christian holiday...

Hooray! Finally! I spent a good hour trying to argue this point with my family on Christmas without any real knowledge with which to argue! Hooray for better articulation! I knew it!
yeh it made me think a lot about what Christmas is all about... i am all for bringing redemption to festivals or rites of passage that are in our host culture... but do we just run with the "pagan" side of christmas...
perhaps we need to redeem the over indulgence and consumerism... speaking out against those things rather than just tacking a nativity scene in the local shopping center...
