I see no reason to change it, do you?
If a Martian landed on our shores at this time of year and
decided to watch television to get a feel for us, what would he
witness?
For one thing, he’d never fathom that Christmas meant the
birth of Christ, or that holiday meant Holy Day.
He would see St. Nicholas portrayed as a bearded fat man
wearing a funny red hat and clothing, trimmed with white,
uttering moronic Ho-Ho’s. He would see hordes of people
run amok, damn near trampling each other in a frenzy of spending.
So much for TV. If he walked the cold streets he would see people begging for alms and sleeping on cardboard, while others passed
with no care, no concern.
All this in the richest country on Earth, which calls itself
“one nation under God”.
I wonder what God thinks about that?
