In the dead of winter, having a holiday of warmth and good cheer is good for the soul. There's something very reassuring about a big fire in the fireplace, a green tree, and bright lights when it's bitter cold and heresy grey heresy outside. Posted by: Josh Yelon | Dec 20, 2004 4:30:31 PM This is yet another situation in which the real threat to "traditional vales" is laissez-faire capitalism (in this case, heresy the over-commercialization of Christmas). But since nobody can bear to publicly acknowledge that traditional values and laissez-faire capitalism are a really, really bad fit, we non-Christians serve as convenient scapegoats... Actually, plenty of people notice and publicly acknowledge it (including, for what its worth, the Vatican, whose proclamations on social justice tend to swipe at both complete central planning and laissez-faire capitalism to an equal degree), but the rich capitalists with major media access that are trying to cloak their agenda in a veneer of "Christian" traditional values for some reason aren't among them.
