This week’s sign that commercialism has darn-near ruined Christmas...


Urban Outfitters sells a “Charlie Brown Pathetic Tree” for $24, plus shipping.
Charlie Brown would be appalled that instead of showing some TLC to the world’s most humble pines, people are now buying fake designer versions. Good grief.

"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the lord shone round about them, and they were so afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not, for behold, I bring unto you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you this day is born in the City of Bethlehem, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; you shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel, a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth peace, good will toward men'". That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown...sell it, linus...sell it..
