Only if you let it, my friend, only if you let it.
And if you need encouragement against the crass commercialization of the holidays, there's always A Charlie Brown Christmas.
yeah, agreed, we live in postmodern culture where where traditional values, have been replaced by referent symbol within the media, and thus Halloween, Christmas, Easter, become evil Pumpkins or witches on broomsticks (hopefully ecological broom sticks which aren't SUV's!l), beer bellied Santa Claus, and chocolate bunnies... but the point is, you don't have to buy into this, just celebrate it in your own way
