Advent Conspiracy
Tired of the over-commercialization of Christmas? me too.
Here is a group that wants to challenge us ( mostly Christians, but I suppose anyone can be included) along 4 themes:
worship fully,
spend less
give more
love all.
Since Christmas originated as a pagan holiday, and in no way commemorates the actual birthday of Jesus, I see this as a healthy thing.
I don't blame the merchants for trying to sell as much of their product as possible--it is, after all, their job in a capitalistic economy. But just because they are screaming " Buy, Buy, Buy" does not mean that we must participate in that part of the season.
Even anti-Christians could ( if they chose) agree with the "Spend Less, Give More, Love All."
We'd probably all be better off for the effort.
