[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regarding the argument that they are trying to normalize a less consumption-focused Christmas -- this is only true if the family is generally not consuming a lot. And if you want to actively brag about this, you better REALLY walk the walk on being anti-consumerist. [b]Bragging about how you didn't buy your kid Christmas presents because you wanted to buy them the experience of skiing in Aspen is not anti-consumerist.[/b] Bragging about only buying your kid one Christmas present when you're a family of 4 living in a 5,000 house on a 1/2 acre lot and have two luxury cars is not anti-consumerist. Bragging about how you only gave your kids a gift in January when your kid has the newest and best of everything (just not received as Christmas presents) is not anti-consumerist.[/quote] Lol, do we know the same person?[/quote]
