| This is NOT the Christmas spirit. |
Christmas! An ideal occasion to do some easy 'cheap' blogging. Yet I do not want to forsake the idea behind this blog. In short: don't expect what isn't obvious. Like a guy with a certain background and a critical attitude could go singing merry Christmas tunes. Or could he?
Anyway, so here it is merry Christmas! Everybody's having fun? Or maybe not everybody, as some people might not know it is Christmas. So Is Christmas a celebration in spite of much suffering? Is it an expression of hope or the worshipping of consumption? The 'true' nature of Christmas combines both beauty and perversion. So don't you go saying that Christmas is for losers just yet!
Maybe the only Christmas song I truly like - one that combines both the critical attitude with the optimism - is John Lennon's Happy Christmas (War Is Over). Cherish all nice things that come with the holidays, but make sure that all hopes for a better future don't stay mere hopes!
