j':1t)¡ collllllgllt... Itlerrï Christmos (non-commerial)

By Mork'Herne¡dez \ühen man first noted that he wás alive, he proceeded to develop a means by which he and other individuals could switch or trade items. This was called bartering, which later became monetary exchange. Then the birth of Christ happened, and people called this a re-birth of religion. Then Christmas came about, and it was called X-mas, and was worshipped by the religious. The commercialism of Christmas came about in the simplest fashion possible: Some'one wanted to make a buck and saw a fantastic opportunity. As a consequence, we've been forced to live through the commercials, sales pitches, ,tinsel, decbrations...and all this since before Thanksgiving. The socalled "festive spirit" of Christmas has been consume-d by the overbearing "investive spirit". . . which leads us to foigetting the true meaning of Christmas. There once was a time when people could be asked what Christmas meant-to them, and the response would almost always be "a time when man counts his blessingst' or "a time of peäce and joy." That seems fair enough, but with ìhe advent of eommercialibm, this attitude has been like "a time for man to count his presents" or "a time of receiving." All of this leads to our forgetting the facts of Christmas: A time to celebrate joy and blessing of the birth of Christ. Even atheists have stated that Christmas is a time when a sort of peace falls qn us in general, belíevers or not. MERRy cl'{R.r I hope that this Chriptmas will fall out of the commercialism, and that both you and I can honor this occasion in the fitting manner remembering the good of the past with no interest in receiving- gifts, and a hope for the future...a future of happiness and peace. It is about all we can do, if we wish to leave it at that. But I hope for d¡r own sake, as well as the genprations of tomorrow, that the commercialism of Christmas can be removed and FILM REVIEW severed from the true meaning of Christmas. Merry Christma's to all, and a Happy New Year! 'lûonsion of Doomed' is doom ed, sll right lelfers Policy
