Maija's Christmas calendar - Day 24

<hrafn> xmas = greed. i don't see the contradiction
<Becky854> hrafn - there are some who don't equate the two - but a scary number of people do
<hrafn> those who claim they don't equate the two generally do so in practice anyhow
<Becky854> that isn't true
<Becky854> there are some who don't
<hrafn> although i hear that there are some mennonites in canada who are launching gift-free xmas campaign this year
<Becky854> hrafn, I think that's a fantastic idea
* hrafn shrugs
<hrafn> far more common are people who bleat "jesus is the reason for the season!" and then turn around and search frantically for chicken-dance elmo at walmart
